  "summary": "The Federal Government has cleared all inherited pension liabilities dating back to 2007 through a N758bn intervention bond, providing long-awaited financial relief to 957,045 beneficiaries across the country. The milestone was announced by the Director-General of the National Pension Commission, Ms Omolola Oloworaran, during her keynote address at the 2026 PenCom Media Conference in Lagos. This decision marks a decisive end to decades of delayed benefits passed down across multiple political administrations and represents a commitment to pension security for all Nigerians.",
