How Does she Handle her Company's Refusal To Register staff For Pension Scheme?

I want know the implication(s) of none compliance to the mandatory pension scheme by a company Nigeria?

There is a company, with close to 50 employees (80% of which are females) based in Abuja, where my sister works. Some of staff have spent upto 10 years and my sister just spent 4 years now, but the Managing Director has refused to enrol them for the mandatory pension scheme, even though it is stated in her letter of employment, i.e. to register her for the scheme.

At a point, a female-based NGO wrote to the company mandating it to register its staff for the pension scheme, the MD grudgingly started the process, by bringing forms for the staff to fill, but later stopped when it appeared that he must have settled with the NGO. Since he stopped the process, they have not heard anything from the NGO again.

And the situation the staff find themselves is that they are afraid to confront the company, as the MD fires staff at will, especially when you discuss issues like this with him. The staff live in fear and are at the mercy of the MD who runs the company as it pleases him, even when it negates professional and etnical standards.
