Plateau State Retired Officers Protest Non‑Payment of 2024 Allowances Amid Budget Fury.
A group of retired police officers in Plateau State staged a protest at state police headquarters in Jos, demanding long-delayed payment of entitlements and pensions owed since 2024. Many carried placards reading "Justice for Retirees" and voiced frustration at perceived government neglect.
The retirees described severe hardship caused by unpaid allowances, prompting widespread sympathy from civil society groups and calls for immediate resolution.
Local officials confirmed receipt of the protest but offered no time frame for settlement, citing ongoing budget constraints and administrative delays.
The demonstration highlights growing discontent among Nigeria’s retired civil servants—raising broader questions about social protection mechanisms and fiscal discipline in state-level governance.
