The continuous protest by retired members of the Nigeria Police Force over their poor pension scheme is deeply regrettable and must not be ignored. These are men and women who dedicated their lives to protecting our nation, often at great personal risk. At a time when Nigeria is grappling with significant security challenges, it is both demoralising and unjust for those who once served on the frontlines to be abandoned in retirement. How we treat our retired security personnel speaks volumes about how we value those currently serving. The government must urgently implement a comprehensive and dignified pension scheme that reflects the years of sacrifice of our retired officers and ensures they live in comfort and honour. Doing so is not only a moral obligation, but it is also a step toward boosting the morale and commitment of those still in active service. No nation achieves lasting peace and order without first respecting and caring for its protectors. We must show compassion and care for those who once protected our nations, so that we will not risk losing the trust and commitment of those still in uniform. -PO
