General News of Thursday, 19 March 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comMany Ghanaians don’t plan properly for retirement – SSNIT bossplay videoDirector-General of the SSNIT, Dr John Ofori-TenkorangThe Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust, Dr John Ofori-Tenkorang, has revealed that the reason many Ghanaians cannot have a relaxed and happy retirement is because they have a poor attitude towards that stage of their lives. He says persons who didn’t have formal jobs in the past invested well in their children so they in turn could take care of them in their old ages but many people with formal jobs, hardly make any meaningful plan towards their retirement. “Those of us who get into formal pensions, we don’t take the time to plan for it,” he stated. Due to the lack of planning, Dr Ofori-Tenkorang says, many people depend on just the income they get from SSNIT when they go on pension, but that is usually not enough to take care of their needs.
