Some retired officers of the Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday appealed to President Bola Tinubu to sign the Police Exit Bill into law to improve their welfare after retirement.
The retired officers, under the auspices of the Police Retired Officers Forum of Nigeria, lamented that they had been suffering after retirement due to what they described as meagre pensions and gratuities.
The National Coordinator of the Police Retired Officers Forum, CSP Raphael Irowainu (retd), while addressing journalists in Akure, the Ondo State capital, said the retirees were suffering under the current Contributory Pension Scheme of the force.
According to him, the over 30,000 members of the forum were seeking exemption from the Contributory Pension Scheme, as has been done for their counterparts in other federal security agencies.
