RETIRED police officers have applauded both President Muhammadu Buhari and the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba.
Both were applauded over the improved welfare and pension now being enjoyed by the retired police officers.
They also commend Nigeria Police Force (NPF) Pensions Limited as well and the National Pension Commission (PenCom) for making valiant efforts to improve the welfare of serving and retired police personnel.
The applause came when NPF Pensions officials, led by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Hamza Sule Wuro Bokki, met with more than 2000 retired police officers in Lagos on Tuesday.
Bokki disclosed that the meeting was at the behest of the IGP and the goal was to acquaint retired police officers with developments in the pension scheme and steps taken by Abuja to improve their welfare.
He informed the jubilant retirees that in line with Buhari’s approval to pay all outstanding entitlements to all verified and enrolled retirees, PenCom has so far remitted funds to Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) to pay them for May to November 2020.
Bokki said the benefits for December 2020 to date would be remitted soon, and by that all officers who retired will be paid.
He added that the benefits for Death Benefits Batches 90 and 91 have also been released and advised the next of kin of deceased officers and other beneficiaries to commence the paperwork to collect the benefits.
