Retired police officers, their wives and children on Wednesday marched to the National Assembly, demanding an immediate exit from the Contributory Pension Scheme, CPS.
In a video making the rounds online, the protesters were heard chanting, “President Tinubu, sign our bill,” as they called on the President to address their demands.
The children were also seen carrying placards during the protest.
The demonstration comes a day after military retirees barricaded the entrance to the Military Pensions Board office in Dutse Alhaji, Abuja, to protest the formula adopted for adjusting their pensions.
