Nambawan Super Limited (NSL) on Thursday, 26 June 2024, hosted awareness sessions with staff and students of the University of Natural Resources and Environment and Members from the Nonga General Hospital, in the East New Britain (ENB) Province with close to 100 participants attending the awareness sessions, respectively.

Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions about superannuation directly to the NSL Chief Executive Officer (CEO), with Members of his Executive Management team and receive valuable feedback on simple and complex queries.

NSL CEO, Mr. Sayer remarked, “It is always a pleasure to meet with Members outside of our major town centres, as they don’t often have a chance to visit our Branches and learn about how to maximise their superannuation savings”.

“Our Members in these areas work hard every day to bring crucial services to their communities, and they do not ask for much in return. Nambawan Super cares about all our Members wherever they reside or work, and we are working hard to ensure that all our Members can access important information that will benefit them in retirement after a lifetime of nation-building”, Mr. Sayer added.

The awareness sessions were conducted a day before the main Regional Engagement and Awareness (E&A) that was hosted in Kokopo on Friday, 27 June 2025, at the Gazelle International Hotel. Over 100 Members attended the event, including Members who travelled in representing the Autonomous Bougainville Government, Parliamentary Services, West New Britain Provincial Health Authority, and Monle ESR Services, Lihir.

The Regional E&A events intend to create a platform for NSL to engage directly with its Employer Representatives and Members, sharing vital information about the Fund’s performance, the progress of key initiatives, and the outlook for the current year. It also aims to provide an opportunity to hear directly from Members and Employer Representatives, their concerns and challenges, and answer any questions they may have, fostering deeper support and collaboration between the Fund and its Members throughout the Country.

The attendees were encouraged to remember that superannuation is a long-term investment and that from year to year, results may go up and down; however, as ‘long-term’ investors, it was important for them to take a long-term outlook.

The Regional E&A in Kokopo is the third event hosted by NSL following the success of the first two of four Regional E&A sessions in May.

The first Regional E&A session was held in Goroka on Wednesday, 14 May 2025, at the Bird of Paradise Hotel. Over 100 NSL Members from Eastern Highlands, Chimbu, Jiwaka, Western Highlands, Enga, and Southern Highlands Provinces attended the event, representing over 79 Employer groups. 

The second Regional E&A session was hosted in Lae on Wednesday, 28 May 2025, at the Lae International Hotel, with 100 Members in attendance representing 60 Employer groups. 

NSL is looking forward to meeting its Members and their Employer Representatives at the upcoming Regional E&A Session which will be held in Kavieng in the coming weeks.
