As part of its member engagement, Nasfund participated at the 59th Morobe Show. Hosted at the Lae showground on Saturday 8th, and Sunday 9th October 2022, this event saw close to 1,500 Nasfund members from across Morobe and neighboring provinces, access the Fund’s services. Nasfund Chief Executive Officer Ian Tarutia thanked the Fund’s members for utilizing this service at this event. “Morobe Province accounts for over 111,000 Nasfund members from across 300 employers, which constitutes approximately 18% of the Fund’s total membership. The 59th Morobe Show provided a wonderful opportunity for the Fund to interact with our members, some of whom who may not have time during the week.

The event also provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs involved in micro and small to medium enterprises (MSMEs) to register to save for retirement through the Fund’s Eda Supa product. Furthermore, our team was also able to interact with representatives from our contributing employers, who also exhibited at this event, to discuss how best to work together to continuously improve our offering in Morobe Province. We thank the Morobe Show Committee for providing this opportunity for the Fund to interact with our members. First held in 1959, this show is one of the longest running annual events which showcases a variety of exhibits from across the agriculture, horticulture, livestock, commercial, industry, education and culture sectors – all sectors which provide a large part of our membership.

We remain committed to working together with the Morobe Show Committee, so that our members are ready for tomorrow.”
