Reforms and Strategic Milestones
Under his stewardship, the NSITF has intensified reforms aimed at eliminating bottlenecks, improving service delivery, and strengthening compliance with the Employees’ Compensation Scheme (ECS). Key initiatives include:
Digital Transformation: Deployment of modern IT infrastructure to streamline claims processing, contribution tracking, and employer registration.
Enhanced Workers’ Welfare: Prompt payment of claims and benefits to injured workers and dependents of deceased employees.
Stakeholder Engagement: Active collaboration with labour unions, employers, and government agencies to promote workplace safety and compliance.
Informal Sector Inclusion: Rolling out sensitization programs to bring self-employed and informal workers under social protection coverage.
Driving the Renewed Hope Agenda
Hon. Olofin’s leadership reflects the Renewed Hope Agenda’s commitment to social justice, job security, and economic empowerment. By fostering efficiency and accountability within the Fund, he is ensuring that NSITF truly serves as a safety net for Nigerian workers in times of need.
His strategic direction also aligns with the Federal Government’s push for inclusive growth, creating a more resilient and worker-friendly environment that protects livelihoods and boosts productivity.
A Chairman with a People-Centered Vision
Known for his accessibility, integrity, and results-oriented approach, Hon. Olofin has earned the confidence of stakeholders who see him as a reformer determined to leave a lasting legacy. His emphasis on teamwork, transparency, and measurable outcomes has already begun to yield visible results.
As the NSITF continues on this transformative journey, Hon. Sola Olofin’s leadership stands as a testament to what is possible when vision meets action — delivering not just promises, but tangible milestones that restore trust and inspire hope.

With this momentum, the NSITF under Hon. Olofin’s guidance is well on its way to becoming a model social insurance institution in Africa.
