The Director-general for Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang, has disclosed how beneficial the introduction of digitalization has been in the operations of SSNIT.
Speaking on Movement in The Morning show with Kwaku Dawuro on Movement TV, he noted that Ghana card has made the operations of SSNIT very smooth.
He urged self-employed workers, to ensure that they enroll onto the newly introduced initiative dubbed Self Employed Enrollment Drive (SEED) to secure a fruitful pension life.
Dr. Tenkorang stated that many self-employed individuals have enrolled onto the initiative in the course of a year. However, he’s still calling on more to enroll.
“In the course of a year, approximately 57,000 self-employed individuals have registered with the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT)…Before the initiation of the Self-employed Enrolment Drive (SEED) and the subsequent public awareness campaign, a mere 14,000 self-employed individuals had enrolled with SSNIT. However, this significant growth was achieved within a year of launching the SEED programme and conducting extensive public education efforts”, he exaplained.
