Awabah is a technology company that is looking to support the pension industry by providing technology solutions. Launched in 2020 to improve financial inclusion in Nigeria’s informal sector, Awabah has since wielded micro-pension as a tool in making this vision a reality.
The COVID-19 lockdown revealed the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of our system, it also showed us the fate of the underserved population should they continue to be ignored and uncatered for. This realization set Tunji and his team on the path of restoration in the informal sector.
Awabah is a story of hope, the realization that those who are not gainfully employed within the Nigerian formal sector can lead a sustainable future and enjoy social security. With Awabah, there is something to fall back on when these people are old.
At a time in our nation's economy when the harsh economic conditions continue to threaten every citizen of Nigeria, our older citizens are even more vulnerable and entrepreneurs or artisans with no structures are more exposed to these harsh realities.
This interview presents an opportunity to discover the extent of Awabah’s impact and solutions that can help secure a sustainable future for our friends in the informal sector.

Micro Pensions help a large percentage of adult Nigerians who are not on the Contributory Pension Scheme, are self-employed or working in organizations with less than 3 employees (MSMEs). Sadly, while the average Nigerian might know about banking, he has no idea about micro-pension or what it does.
Awabah currently has over 5000 individuals on its platform and this number can scale up if everyone in the informal sector becomes aware of what they stand to gain by signing up on the platform.
To aid its operations, Awabah announced its partnership with Stanbic IBTC pension managers in May 2022. The partnership will allow the startup to sell mandatory pensions so that pensions can be made available for small startups and businesses and actualize the long-term goal to deepen micro pension inclusion across Nigeria.
The startup also partnered with LSETF to expand micropension to the grassroots.
