A group of retired police officers in Nigeria have announced plans for a nationwide protest over the implementation of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS). The CPS was introduced in 2004 to provide a sustainable pension system for public sector workers including police officers. However the retired officers claim that the scheme has not been properly implemented leading to delays and inadequate pension payments. They argue that this has caused financial hardship for many retired officers and their families. The planned protest is aimed at drawing attention to their plight and calling for the government to address the issues with the CPS.
