The Federal Government is working on measures to improve the take-home pay of retired police officers under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), the Nigeria Police Force Pensions Limited (NPF Pensions) has said. Muhammed Dutse, Acting Managing Director of NPF Pensions, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja while speaking during the Customer Service Week of the pension fund administrator. Dutse said the initiative was being handled by a presidential committee set up by President Bola Tinubu to address concerns around the income of police retirees. “Currently, there’s an attempt by the Federal Government. It’s in fact in the process. And we have been working to ensure that the pay, the take-home pay of retirees is improved. “I would not want to disclose the entirety of the arrangement because it’s a presidential committee that is working on it. It’s set up by Mr President himself,” he said. He said the initiative was aimed at improving the living standards of police retirees, urging pensioners and serving officers to exercise patience while the process was being concluded. Dutse noted that police officers play a critical role in maintaining internal security and that the Federal Government had demonstrated commitment to addressing challenges affecting their pensions. “Considering the current situation of things, I can say that yes, our customers are not really happy with this scheme. “Police are in charge of the internal security of this country. And that is why Mr. President has taken it seriously to ensure that their take-home has been improved,” he stated According to him, the government had in the past two years taken steps to address outstanding pension obligations, including the clearance of the backlog of accrued rights accumulated over several years. He said the government also spent more than N 750 billion on consequential adjustments and pension increases that accrued from 2007. “Mr President started by clearing the backlog of accrued rights, which has accumulated for over 24 months from the time of Buhari. “And then last year again, there were consequential adjustments and increases in pensions that accrued since 2007. The Federal Government again spent over N750 billion in order to address that issue,”Dutse said. Dutse said these interventions had also improved the balances of existing Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs), adding that the latest initiative was intended to further close the gap between the earnings of serving officers and what they receive after retirement. He also disclosed that NPF Pensions had commenced processing gratuity payments for police officers who retired in 2026. The acting managing director said the pension administrator was also expanding its engagement with serving officers and retirees through direct customer service initiatives. According to him, senior management and staff have been assigned customers to enable them communicate directly with pension contributors and address their concerns. He said NPF Pensions had also introduced a WhatsApp for Business platform which had so far onboarded nearly 100,000 police officers , with the number increasing daily. Dutse said the platform was designed to make pension services more accessible, allowing police officers to access services without necessarily visiting NPF Pensions offices. On investment performance, he said NPF Pensions had recorded average annual returns of about 23-24 percent over the past five years, including a year when returns reached almost 37 percent . He said the company was reviewing its investment strategy following changes in the monetary policy environment, including the recent reduction in the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR). Dutse said the pension fund administrator would continue to explore alternative investment opportunities, including infrastructure funds, private equity, equities and other approved investment windows, rather than relying primarily on bank deposits. He added that the company was also looking at opportunities emerging in sectors such as energy to sustain investment returns for its customers. On retirement preparation, Dutse said NPF Pensions operates a retirement resettlement support programme to assist police retirees during the transition period before their retirement benefits are released. He said the company also uses pre-retirement seminars to equip serving officers with skills that could provide additional sources of income after retirement, including training in poultry farming and other small businesses. Dutse said NPF Pensions maintained cordial relationships with associations of retired police officers and had held several meetings with them and the police authorities to identify priorities and address issues affecting retirees.

He said the government also spent more than N 750 billion on consequential adjustments and pension increases that accrued from 2007. “Mr President started by clearing the backlog of accrued rights, which has accumulated for over 24 months from the time of Buhari. “And then last year again, there were consequential adjustments and increases in pensions that accrued since 2007. The Federal Government again spent over N750 billion in order to address that issue,”Dutse said. Dutse said these interventions had also improved the balances of existing Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs), adding that the latest initiative was intended to further close the gap between the earnings of serving officers and what they receive after retirement. He also disclosed that NPF Pensions had commenced processing gratuity payments for police officers who retired in 2026. The acting managing director said the pension administrator was also expanding its engagement with serving officers and retirees through direct customer service initiatives. According to him, senior management and staff have been assigned customers to enable them communicate directly with pension contributors and address their concerns. He said NPF Pensions had also introduced a WhatsApp for Business platform which had so far onboarded nearly 100,000 police officers , with the number increasing daily. Dutse said the platform was designed to make pension services more accessible, allowing police officers to access services without necessarily visiting NPF Pensions offices. On investment performance, he said NPF Pensions had recorded average annual returns of about 23-24 percent over the past five years, including a year when returns reached almost 37 percent . He said the company was reviewing its investment strategy following changes in the monetary policy environment, including the recent reduction in the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR). Dutse said the pension fund administrator would continue to explore alternative investment opportunities, including infrastructure funds, private equity, equities and other approved investment windows, rather than relying primarily on bank deposits. He added that the company was also looking at opportunities emerging in sectors such as energy to sustain investment returns for its customers. On retirement preparation, Dutse said NPF Pensions operates a retirement resettlement support programme to assist police retirees during the transition period before their retirement benefits are released. He said the company also uses pre-retirement seminars to equip serving officers with skills that could provide additional sources of income after retirement, including training in poultry farming and other small businesses. Dutse said NPF Pensions maintained cordial relationships with associations of retired police officers and had held several meetings with them and the police authorities to identify priorities and address issues affecting retirees.
