The retired officers gathered at the venue to drive home their demands for improved retirement benefits.

Retired Nigerian Police officers have gathered in front of the National Assembly, Abuja to protest against the Contributory Pension Scheme.

According to them, after 35 years of dedicated service to the nation, the monthly take-home of a retired officer under the said scheme is very poor. One of the officers said, “We are here from different parts of the country, we are the Nigeria Police Force retirees under the Contributory Pension Scheme. My name is Uwem. We are here because we feel cheated since we retired from the Nigeria Police Force.

“Instead, we got a letter that a committee would be constituted to do that, yet from that June till now, nothing has been done. Rather some retired officers were saying that we said we were comfortable with the Contributory Pension Scheme and we never said so.
