GOROKA, Eastern Highlands Province 

National Superannuation Fund Limited (Nasfund) has launched an intensive regional engagement drive across the Highlands this week, focusing on employer recognition, corporate compliance, and frontline member service delivery in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province. 

As part of the week’s activities, representatives from the Port Moresby Marketing and Stakeholder Engagement team joined the Highlands Regional Team Leader Mr Pagel Yawani who traveled in from Mt. Hagen to conduct business visits across the province. A major highlight was the on-site presentation of the 2025 Nasfund Employer Award – CEO’s Award (2nd Runner-Up) to the management and staff of Seng Da Trading Limited, recognizing their exemplary record in timely contributions and superannuation compliance.
