Economic change for private people
This project is to address the situation of pension scheme for private organization like churches, mosques, private schools, market women and men and other organizations to save for their future. Most private organizations suffer at oldage because the Nigeria government dont have any vision to help the private individuals for oldage. This problem will be online and participants will be able to pay in their monthly to this account or deduction made monthly from their banks instruction. There will be an apps to design for the collection of the money. Banks and other pension organizations will be partners in this project and also the insurance organization will be made to guide the funds. The government will appoint the monitoring officials for the funds.
The project is about to change the lives of private people in Nigeria. Nigeria is made up of 36 states and the federal capital territory which made it 37 states. Nigeria has a population of over 200 million people. Those engage in government work are just 35%. the rest 65% are private individual. This project will take care of private organization which has population of over 80 million Nigeria. These are Pastors working in churches, Imams, Small scale business owners, market women and men traders, private schools proprietors and their teachers and many more. Most of these people suffer at oldage because they dont have planned pension and when the salary stop coming, they suffer and die quickly. This project is to plan for the private sectors in Nigeria to have a future and help their oldage.
The targeted people are majorly the private sector which do not have support from the government for their daily lives. These people comprises
The Pastors. These pastors retire as from the age of 65 years and there is no pension scheme for them. Many of them suffer so much after retirement
The Imams - the same thing happens to the imam. No pension for the
The small scale business owners - they are the own of their businesses, so they carter for themselves. When they are getting old and at times the business is not going well, they end up suffering and begging on the streets. Some even take loans from the bank which they cannot afford to pay.
The government should made a compulsory pension for the private sector. This project has been bothering me for years because i am a private person.
NGO workers - they dont have pension scheme.
- Deploying features that encourage contributions regardless of literacy and numeracy levels — including in contexts with limited internet coverage
The problem to solve is poverty at oldage by the private sector who are not covered in Nigeria by the public pension service and insurance. These group are the private people working in the small scale business, the pastors working in churches, the Imam working in mosques, the NGO workers, the market women and men. The program will design a solution for them to save money in this project for oldage. At times, money saved in the bank can easily be withdrawn and use but the pension savings cannot be withdrawn and used until due time.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.Presently there is no competitor in this project. The only project available in Nigeria is the insurance companies and the micro credit organizations. This organizations does not provide for the pension, but they deal with the instant business and loans. Many people do not want the insurance companies because many of them has failed in their promises to the people. When people insure with them, when they have problem, they find it difficult to access their funds. So this is the first time that this can of proposal or project is coming up in Nigeria that will take care of the private sector. With the support of the government and with the backing of law from the National Assembly, the organization handling the project of this private sector will be guide and handle by the government. Most private organizations will be very happy to partake in it because it will help their future.

When the government officials retires, they get their fund from the pension but this is not application to the private sector. They have nowhere to go for funds, because their was not project like this. But with this new technology focusing on the private sector, they will be able to have support for their oldage after they retire from the little local business. This project will use an newly developed apps that will help them to pay their pension with ease. These apps can be used anywhere in the country.

With the partnership with the Mission Billion Challenge, we can be able to achieve this project. This project is a multi billion dollars project. If they come in partnership with us, the government of Nigeria and West Africa will be able to approve the project for all West Africa countries.

Having a savings from over 80 million people from Nigeria alone every month is a huge sum of money and if you now add other ECOWAS countries that is billion of dollars. I pray that the project should be selected
