Trust Fund Pension Administrators have emerged as champions in the 3rd edition of the Pension Fund Administrators Games in Abuja. With a total points haul of 38, they excelled in various events at the highly competitive event held at Turf Arena Sports Center.

Premium Pension secured the second position with a total points haul of 29, despite facing defeat in the football final.
