Abstract
The paper sought to compare the new pension scheme with the past pension schemes, with respect to their principles (core values), with a view to highlighting some areas of departure in the new pension scheme from the past ones. The values of the new pension scheme are ideally laudable and superior to those of the past schemes. However, the past pension schemes were plagued with financial misappropriation (corruption), which gave vent to their ineffectiveness and subsequent abrogation. In this light, the National Pensions Commission (PENCOM), which regulates the activities of the two principal agents in the new pension scheme: Pension Fund Custodians (PFCs) and Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) should determine to be anti-corrupt, so as to be able to regulate the activities of PFCs and PFAs, more so, with zero tolerance for any form of financial misappropriation. All in all, Nigeria needs a visionary, disciplined, pro-development and an anti-corrupt leadership. This being so, the new pension scheme will have the expected and needed congenial environment to practically bring to bear its expected benefits.
