In response, the PSC Chairman, DIG Argungu, reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to restoring the dignity and welfare of both serving and retired officers of the Nigeria Police Force. He disclosed plans to engage some of the retired officers in the Commission’s Quality Assurance Unit, where their wealth of experience would be utilised to enhance the management of police personnel. Argungu also assured the retired officers that efforts would be made to ensure their children benefit from recruitment into the force, either through the Police Academy in Wudil, Kano, or through direct recruitment. “Retired officers are invaluable assets to nation-building, and we will explore ways to improve their retirement benefits,” Argungu stated. “The Commission will examine how it can intervene to bring about meaningful change in the pensions of retired officers,” the statement added.
