President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had, in a letter to the Senate President Godswill Akpabio, asked the Red Chamber to confirm her appointment. Omolola Oloworaran was appointed as PenCom’s Director General in July 2024.

Subsequently, she assumed the role in an acting capacity pending her confirmation by the Senate as required by the Pension Reform Act 2014.
