Retired Nigerian Police Officers Stage Nationwide Protest Over Meager Pensions

 


Retired Nigerian police officers have staged nationwide protests over what they describe as humiliating pension payments. The protests, which began on July 21, 2025, in Abuja, have quickly spread to states including Edo, Plateau, Kwara, Taraba, and Cross River.

Led by retired officers and supported by activists like Omoyele Sowore, the demonstrators marched to the National Assembly and Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, demanding better welfare and a full exit from the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS). Many retirees report receiving pensions as low as ₦10,000 to ₦20,000 per month, which they say is insufficient for basic living expenses.

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has acknowledged the humiliating conditions faced by retirees and proposed that police officers be exempted from the CPS. Despite this, retirees continue to demand a pension scheme that adequately reflects their years of service and sacrifices.

The protests have caused significant disruptions, including the lockdown of the National Assembly complex on October 9, 2025, as retired officers blocked entrances and exits, demanding to speak directly with the Senate President.

These demonstrations highlight the broader issue of inadequate welfare for retired personnel in Nigeria and have sparked nationwide discussions about pension reforms and the fair treatment of those who have served the nation.
