Retired Kogi Correctional Officers Call on Federal Government to Resolve Welfare and Gratuity Delays

In Kogi State, a group of retired correctional officers has formally appealed to the Federal Government to address two pressing issues: inadequate welfare provisions and extended delays in gratuity payments. The officers, who served in the national prison system, argue that the current support mechanisms fail to meet their post‑service needs. They request immediate review and reform of the welfare framework and a streamlined process for gratuity disbursement. The appeal is a direct request for policy action and resource allocation to ensure that former correctional staff receive the benefits they earned during their careers.
