SSNIT celebrates Ghana's oldest female pensioner at 100
Madam Ima Zenabu Dagomba, Ghana's oldest female pensioner, was celebrated by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) on her 100th birthday. She was born on July 1, 1926, retired on January 31, 1992, and was first placed on the SSNIT pension payroll in March 1993. She has been on the scheme for 33 years and four months, making her the longest-serving female SSNIT pensioner in Ghana. Madam Dagomba expressed appreciation to SSNIT, stating, "I am grateful to SSNIT for the support so far. If it hadn't been SSNIT, life would not have been easy for me. I am able to feed myself and pay my bills because of SSNIT."
Adam Sulley, Deputy Director-General in charge of Operations and Benefits at SSNIT, stated that pensioners are important stakeholders. He explained that the decision to hold the ceremony at Madam Dagomba's home, instead of a hotel, was intentional to bring SSNIT closer to communities and expose more people, particularly those in the informal sector, to the benefits of the pension scheme. He noted that many people gathered were from the informal sector and were beginning to appreciate that SSNIT is not only for formal sector workers.
