Association of Retired Police Officers of Nigeria (ARPON) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to sign into law, the Bill to exit Nigeria Police from Contributory Pension Scheme

The President of ARPON and ex-AIG, Steven Aiyewumi, made the appeal in a statement in Abuja. Aiyewumi said the appeal became necessary to enable retired police officers to have the required benefits accrue to them and avoid any case of misappropriation in their retirement benefits.
 
“We, members of the Association of Retired Police Officer of Nigeria join our serving counterparts and police retirees, under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), to express our profound gratitude to the distinguished honourable members of the 9th National Assembly for listening to the yearning of the force in passing and transmitting to Mr. President for his assent to the Bill, An Act to Exit the Nigeria Police Force From The Contributory Pension Scheme, and we consequently lend our voices to that of all well-meaning Nigerians to passionately appeal to Mr. President to speedily give his assent to the Bill,” he said.
 
While calling for more measures towards combating insecurity in the country, Aiyewumi, said ARPON would continue to support the Federal Government towards protecting lives and property of Nigerians.
