  • Retired Kogi Judges Cry Out Over Years of Neglect, Demand Immediate Payment of Outstanding Entitlements

    Retired judges of Kogi State have raised alarms over years of neglect, urging the government to immediately pay their unpaid pensions, gratuities, allowances, and vehicle allocations. Having served decades and retired between 2021 and 2023, the judges described the non-payment as unjust, humiliating, and a violation of constitutional provisions. They warned that continued inaction undermines judicial dignity and independence, urging Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo to intervene. Among the retirees are former Chief Judge John Bayo Olowosegun and ex-President of the Customary Court of Appeal, Yunusa Musa.

  • FEDCAM Workers Accuse Management of Intimidation, Staff Downgrading and Embezzlement as Alternative Medicine College Crisis Deepens

    Workers at the Federal College of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (FEDCAM) have accused the institution’s management of intimidation, arbitrary downgrading of staff, and financial mismanagement, alleging years of administrative abuse and violation of its establishing law. Staff members claim the crisis dates back to 2010 when the Federal Ministry of Health took over the college after it was shut down by the National Universities Commission, installing an interim management that allegedly mismanaged budgets without proper infrastructure or academic output. They further allege illegal appointment of a Sole Administrator instead of a substantive Provost, unlawful recruitment of retirees into key positions, cancellation of career progressions, and deliberate efforts to frustrate senior staff. The Sole Administrator, however, denied the allegations, insisting his mandate is to correct long-standing irregularities, defend accountability, and address the absence of academic programmes despite years of staff promotions and salary payments.

  • Niger LG Chairman Accuses Governor Bago of Withholding Funds, Blocking Council Duties in Shiroro

    Outgoing Shiroro Local Government chairman, Isyaku Akilu Kuta, has accused Niger State Governor Umar Bago of denying him access to funds, blocking his core responsibilities, and crippling service delivery throughout his tenure. Speaking at a farewell reception, Kuta said the governor’s control over council allocations prevented him from securing appointments, addressing insecurity, or executing development projects—leaving him unable to achieve even 30% of his goals. He alleged that Niger’s LGs received only N10 million monthly plus limited security votes, despite a 2024 Supreme Court ruling mandating full LG autonomy. Kuta condemned the hardships faced by unemployed graduates and retirees in Shiroro and criticized the state’s continued withholding of federal allocations as newly elected council chairmen prepare to assume office.

  • Hike in Airfares: Reps seek reduction of 50% in airport charges and auxiliary taxes

    The Federal Government through the Ministry of Aviation has been asked to intervene in the exorbitant cost of domestic air tickets by effecting a fifty percent reduction in airport charges and auxiliary taxes.

    The House of Representatives which passed the resolution at Thursday's plenary is hoping that this will translate to a significant reduction in airfares to enable Nigerians take advantage of air travel during the Yuletide.

    Adopting a motion by Representative Obinna Aguocha, the House called for a transparent assessment mechanism by the Ministry of Aviation to determine the actual operational costs for airlines during the Yuletide.

    The House also drew attention to the plight of retirees and contributors under the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Pension Fund Limited, who are facing delayed payment of their pension and gratuities, while calling for action.

  • Retired Police Officer Collapses as Aggrieved Ex-Police Personnel Protest Unpaid Pensions at National Assembly.

    A retired police officer collapsed on Thursday at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, as hundreds of former Nigeria Police Force personnel staged a mass protest over the non-payment of their pensions and entitlements.

    The retirees many frail and elderly gathered at the main gate with placards reading “We Are Dying in Silence,” “Pay Us Our Pensions,” and “35 Years of Service, Nothing to Show.” Their demonstration briefly disrupted movement around the complex as they chanted solidarity songs and accused the Federal Government of abandoning them.

    Eyewitnesses told SaharaReporters that a retiree in his late 70s suddenly slumped while chanting. He was revived after first aid was administered by security personnel.

    Operating under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) Police Retirees Association, the protesters said they had been reduced to hardship despite serving the country for over three decades. They demanded to be removed from the CPS which they described as exploitative and reinstated into the old Defined Benefits Scheme that guaranteed stable post-service welfare.

    Their action follows a similar protest in October, which saw human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore join them in solidarity. Sowore had called the CPS a “fraudulent arrangement” and criticised the government for subjecting retirees to poverty.

    “I’m not just fighting for the police; I’m fighting with retired police officers,” Sowore told the crowd. “Those holding your destinies must know Nigerians will not continue to suffer in silence.”

    He also urged retirees across all security agencies and the civil service to unite, saying the struggle affects everyone.

  • Benin varsities, Nigerian polys in NYSC fraud;Many pensioners earn N5,000 monthly, NUP laments.

    Some blacklisted universities in the Benin Republic have devised means of sneaking their graduates into the National Youth Service Corps in collaboration with certain private polytechnics in Nigeria, findings by Saturday PUNCH have shown.

    Our correspondent gathered that the universities now obtain Higher National Diploma and National Diploma certificates for their graduates and students due for graduation through the private polytechnics.

    After issuing the HND certificates, the polytechnics would then mobilise the affected students for the mandatory NYSC.

    Saturday PUNCH also learnt that the students were asked to pay about N400,000 to obtain the HND certificates from the polytechnics, mostly located in South-West and South-East states.

    Many pensioners earn N5,000 monthly, NUP laments

    The Nigeria Union of Pensioners has decried the worsening plight of its members, lamenting that many pensioners, especially those at the state level, still earn as little as N5,000 monthly despite the rising cost of living.

    Speaking in an interview with Saturday PUNCH, the General Secretary of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, Actor Zal, said most state governments had failed to prioritise the welfare of their retirees, disclosing that only 13 states were currently paying pensions and gratuities regularly.

  • BREAKING: Police Direct Retirees (2007–2022) To Report For Pension Documentation In Port Harcourt

    The Nigeria Police Force has ordered all personnel who retired between July 1, 2007, and December 2022 to urgently report for pension documentation in Port Harcourt.

    According to a wireless message dated August 18, 2025, and signed by the Commissioner of Police in charge of DFA, Rivers State Command, the exercise will run from Tuesday, August 19 to Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at the Pension Office, Borikiri, Port Harcourt.

    The signal (Ref: CH: 8475/RVS/VOL.4/125) directed Area Commanders, DPOs, and tactical commanders to inform all affected retirees in their jurisdictions immediately.

    The police notice, marked Confidential, emphasized: “Treat as very important, please.”

    This comes amid ongoing protests by retired officers over unpaid benefits under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS). Many say they have received only 25% of deductions from 35 years of service. In July, retirees staged demonstrations nationwide, demanding to be removed from the CPS entirely, despite the government’s recent rollout of free healthcare incentives for low-income retirees.

  • 2027: Jonathan Can’t Fix Nigeria, Systemic Overhaul Needed – Activist Farotimi

    Human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi, says replacing President Bola Tinubu with ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in 2027 will not solve Nigeria’s challenges unless the country tackles its structural failures.

    In an interview, Farotimi argued that “a thousand Jonathans cannot fix Nigeria” if the governance system that enables corruption and poor leadership remains unchanged. He stressed that Nigeria’s problem is not about individuals but about building sustainable systems that prioritize education, security, agriculture, and nation-building.

    Farotimi also dismissed Peter Obi’s one-term presidency idea as inadequate without clear plans. “It’s not about how long you stay in office, it’s about what you do with the time,” he said.

    On pension arrears, he condemned the neglect of retirees, saying Nigeria’s ruling elite have “enslaved the people with a system designed to extract value for themselves while leaving citizens in poverty.”

  • BREAKING: Police Officer Steals Sowore’s Glasses During Protest.

    A police officer allegedly attached to the Force Headquarters in Abuja has been accused of stealing the glasses of Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 general election, during a protest on Monday.

    Sowore, who disclosed the incident via his Instagram page, claimed the officer, dressed in mufti, stole his Ray-Ban glasses during the demonstration and is now being shielded by his superiors.

    “This Nigeria Police Force officer, dressed in mufti, stole my Al Rayban glasses at the Force Headquarters during police protest today. His superiors are shielding him. Please DM if you know his name and rank as soon as possible!” Sowore wrote.

    The protest, led by Sowore alongside other activists and retired police officers, was held to demand improved welfare and the removal of police retirees from the contributory pension scheme, which they described as exploitative and discriminatory.

    The Nigerian Union of Retired Police Officers, which organised the demonstration, vowed to picket the National Assembly before marching to the Force Headquarters. The group claims that many of its members have died without receiving fair pension entitlements.

  • Police retirees’ planned welfare protest is attempt to discredit IGP Egbetokun’s achievements: PCRC
    Mr Olaniyan said the proposed protest, disguised as a campaign for the rights of retired police personnel, was ill-timed.

    The Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) has dismissed the planned protest by some retired police officers as an attempt to discredit Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun.

    PCRC national chairman, Ibrahim Olaniyan, stated this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

    He said the proposed protest, disguised as a campaign for the rights of retired police personnel, was ill-timed and aimed at undermining the achievements of the IGP.

    “It is a calculated attempt to distract and discredit the commendable progress being made by the IGP and by extension, the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

    “The PCRC holds in high regard the integrity, discipline, and patriotism of our retired police officers.

    “We believe they possess both the dignity and appropriate channels to express concerns without resorting to opportunistic or politically motivated demonstrations. They do not need intermediaries to speak on their behalf,” he said.

    Mr Olaniyan said the PCRC at all levels had expressed its support for the IGP’s ongoing efforts to reform, reposition, and professionalise the Nigeria Police Force.

    He said, “We categorically distance ourselves from, and condemn in its entirety, the proposed protest being reportedly organised by some individuals and groups purporting to act on behalf of retired police officers.

    “As a critical bridge between the Nigeria Police Force and the communities it serves, the PCRC recognises the visible and impactful strides made by the current police leadership.

    “These include advances in community policing, intelligence-led crime prevention, and improvements in police welfare, discipline, and accountability.”

    He said the IGP had made significant improvements in respect for the rule of law, protection of human rights, promotion of transparency and accountability, and strengthening of collaboration with other security agencies.

    The PCRC chairman stated that the current police leadership had also excelled in the strategic deployment of personnel and resources within the force to address security challenges in the country.

    Mr Olaniyan enjoined well-meaning Nigerians, civil society groups, and public institutions to support the police force and its leadership to better protect lives and property.

    He urged the IGP to remain focused and undeterred by the actions of those who seek to sow discord or erode public confidence.

Mr Olaniyan enjoined well-meaning Nigerians, civil society groups, and public institutions to support the police force and its leadership to better protect lives and property. He urged the IGP to remain focused and undeterred by the actions of those who seek to sow discord or erode public confidence.
