Npa pensioners protest 11 years of none increment
A very specific and important issue!
NPA (Nigerian Police Academy) pensioners in Nigeria have been protesting for 11 years, demanding an increase in their pension benefits. The protest is a result of the non-increment of their pension since 2011.
The pensioners, who are mostly retired police officers, are seeking a review of their pension benefits to reflect the current economic realities in the country. They are also demanding the payment of outstanding arrears of pension and other entitlements.
The protest, which has been ongoing for several months, has gained national attention and has been met with resistance from the government. The pensioners have been holding peaceful protests, rallies, and sit-ins, and have also written several letters to the government, appealing for their demands to be met.
The issue is not only affecting the pensioners but also their families, who are struggling to make ends meet due to the lack of increase in their pension benefits. The pensioners are also concerned about their health and well-being, as they are finding it difficult to access medical care and other essential services due to the financial constraints.
The government has been accused of neglecting the welfare of pensioners, and the protest is seen as a cry for help from those who have dedicated their lives to serving the country. The issue has also raised concerns about the sustainability of the pension system in Nigeria, as many pensioners are struggling to survive on their meager benefits.
The protest is ongoing, and the pensioners are determined to continue until their demands are met. It is hoped that the government will take their demands seriously and take steps to address the issue, ensuring that the pensioners receive the benefits they deserve.
