What Is NSITF?
The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund is a Federal Government agency established to administer the Employees’ Compensation Scheme (ECS) under the Employees’ Compensation Act 2010. Every employer in Nigeria’s private sector is required to contribute 1% of their total monthly payroll to the scheme. In return, employees covered under the scheme receive compensation for workplace injuries, occupational diseases, and related incidents.
The NSITF compliance certificate is now required by most Federal Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies as part of bid documentation for public contracts. Getting this certificate starts with registering at your nearest NSITF branch.

How to Get Your NSITF Compliance Certificate
Walking into a branch is only part of the process. Here is what the registration and certification process involves.
Registration requires completing Form ECS RE01 (Registration of Employer) and Form ECS RE03 (Employer Schedule of Payment). Payment of the 1% monthly payroll contribution is made through the Remita platform after NSITF assesses your staff remuneration. Once payment is confirmed, submit an official request letter, your Certificate of Incorporation from CAC, completed ECS forms, and evidence of payment to receive the compliance certificate.
The compliance certificate is typically processed within 5 working days after successful submission and payment verification. The initial registration and certification fee is approximately N50,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which NSITF office should I go to if I am in Abuja?
There are several NSITF offices serving the FCT. The main Abuja branch office is at Murjanatu House, No. 1 Zambezi Street, Off Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Maitama. There are also branches in Gwagwalada, Jahi District, Mararaba, and Kubwa for businesses located in different parts of the city and satellite towns.
Can I register with NSITF online without visiting a branch?
NSITF offers an online portal for registration and payment through the Remita platform, but most businesses still need to visit a branch to finalise certification and submit physical documents. It is advisable to contact your nearest branch first to confirm current requirements and what can be done remotely.
What happens if my business does not register with NSITF?
Failure to register and contribute to the Employees’ Compensation Scheme exposes the business to penalties. Late contributions attract a 5% to 10% monthly penalty on unpaid amounts. Beyond financial penalties, unregistered businesses cannot obtain the NSITF compliance certificate, which is required for Federal Government contract bids and increasingly being adopted at state level as well.
How long is the NSITF compliance certificate valid?
The compliance certificate must be renewed annually. NSITF requires employers to continue making monthly payroll contributions and to submit renewal documentation each year to remain in good standing and receive an updated certificate.
Does NSITF have offices in all 36 states?
NSITF’s 13 regions collectively cover all 36 states and the FCT, though not every state has its own dedicated branch office. Some states are served from a neighbouring branch or regional office. The Abuja Region, for example, also covers Kogi, Niger, and parts of Nasarawa State.
Where can I verify an NSITF certificate?
Certificate verification is available online at ecsa.nsitf.gov.ng/Verification/index_nsitf.cfm. This lets anyone confirm whether a company’s NSITF certificate is genuine before accepting it as part of bid documentation.
Conclusion: Find Your Region, Then Your Branch
NSITF’s network covers the entire country across 13 regions. Whether your business is in Lagos Island, Port Harcourt, Kano, or a smaller town like Sapele or Jalingo, there is a branch office within reach.
