Business correspondent Nana Musa has received the National Pension Commission’s (PenCom) Best Reporter of the Year award at its 2026 conference for journalists in Abuja.

The award was presented on Tuesday, with business editor Ese Williams receiving it on Musa’s behalf.

Organisers said the recognition honoured Musa’s dedication and resilience in online journalism. The supplied account did not detail the judging criteria or selection process.

The conference brought journalists and pension industry stakeholders together to discuss innovations, reforms and developments in the sector.

Musa, who also serves as President of the Pension Correspondents Association of Nigeria, thanked PenCom Director-General Omolola Oloworaran for the recognition.

She said reforms introduced under Oloworaran’s leadership had improved pension administration and service delivery. That assessment was not accompanied by performance figures in the account.

Musa called for sustained collaboration, transparency and access to credible information to strengthen public confidence in the pension system.

She also urged journalists to apply lessons from the conference to their reporting and improve the quality of information available to the public.

Williams welcomed the recognition and expressed support for continued coverage of the commission’s programmes and policies.

For pension contributors and retirees, clear reporting can help explain reforms, benefits and administrative processes. Access to reliable information also enables journalists to scrutinise service delivery and distinguish announced improvements from outcomes experienced by the people the system serves.
