IGP Disu Urges Police to Plan Early for Retirement

On Tuesday, Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu delivered a keynote address focusing on the importance of early retirement planning and skill acquisition for police officers. He highlighted that the sacrifices made by police officers often go unrecognized despite the risks associated with their profession.

Disu emphasized that retirement should not be viewed as the end of relevance but rather as a new phase of life where former officers can continue to contribute to national development through mentorship and community service. He urged serving officers to begin planning for retirement early, pursue further education, and make prudent financial decisions.

Disu reaffirmed the administration's commitment to improving the welfare of police personnel, noting that support for retired officers should not be solely the government's responsibility but should also involve the private sector and civil society organizations. He commended initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of life for retired police personnel and expressed gratitude for their years of service.
