Many Police, Military Officers Can No Longer Afford Transportation To Go And See Their Families When They Are On Leave – Kenneth Okonkwo

Labour Party chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo highlighted that many police and military officers in Nigeria are unable to afford transportation to visit their families while on leave. He stated that security personnel often choose to remain in the forest rather than go home due to financial constraints.

Okonkwo criticized the government for failing to provide adequate retirement benefits for security forces, leading to protests among officers. He lamented the worsening economic situation in Nigeria and blamed the administration for mismanaging the country's resources.

Okonkwo emphasized the need for Nigeria to take a leadership role in Africa and fully realize its potential. The statement calls for urgent action to address the financial challenges faced by security personnel in the country.
