Senate, Pension Operators Disagree Over NPF’s Exemption Request from Contributory Scheme

The Senate and Pension operators have disagreed over the Nigeria Police Force’s request for exemption from the Contributory Pension Scheme.

The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Haliru Jika, sponsor of the bill, Senator Elisha Abbo and Senator Ali Ndume, in their separate remarks, said the Police deserved to be given special treatment enjoyed by the military with a special pension board.

However, the National Pension Commission, Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria, and Nigeria Labour Congress, among others, kicked against it.
