Impact of Contributory Pension Scheme on Workers’ Savings and Investment in N...iosrjce
This paper analyses the impact of Contributory Pension Scheme on employee savings and investment
in Nigeria using Anambra State public workers as a case study. The paper uses cross – sectional primary data
sourced through a structured questionnaire administered on 387 respondents (i.e. those that have been in
service for the period of 5 years and on grade level 8. This choice is based on the fact that they will save
money than those in grade levels less than 8. The empirical analysis reveals that majority of the respondents
prefers to save outside any pension scheme implying that they are participating because it is compulsory. Again,
most of the respondents are not aware of their employers’ own contribution to their contributory pension
scheme. The study therefore concludes among others that the Nigerian government should create more
awareness and enlightement campaign on the workers’ contributory pension scheme geared towards

on the issue of UNIFORM MARRIAGE AGE of men and women.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
