It empowers the Authority to receive, manage and invest funds in a diversified portfolio of medium and long-term assets on behalf of the Federal, State Governments, and Local Governments Area Councils in preparation for the eventual depletion of Nigeria’s hydrocarbon resources.
To give effect to the mandates, the NSIA established three main funds: the Stabilisation Fund, the Future Generations Fund, and the Nigeria Infrastructure Fund.
The role of the Stabilisation Fund is to provide budget support in times of economic stress; the Future Generations Fund is an inter-generational savings fund for future generations of Nigerians and the Nigeria Infrastructure Fund is to invest in domestic infrastructure.
