Tinubu Orders Free Healthcare For Low-income Retirees, Pension Increase by Pakute(op): 6:09pm On Aug 06, 2025

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the rollout of free healthcare access initiative for low-income retirees under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), describing it as a critical component of social protection and dignity in retirement.

The President also called for the implementation of “long-overdue pension increases and a minimum pension guarantee,” which would provide a safety net for the most vulnerable pensioners under the CPS.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy said the President also directed the immediate resolution of the longstanding police pension issue, explaining that the police men who served the nation deserve to retire with dignity.

The President gave the directives after receiving a briefing from Ms. Omolola Oloworaran, the Director General of the National Pension Commission (PenCom).

President Tinubu further mandated the PenCom DG to urgently resolve the longstanding police pension issue, emphasising that members of the police force who serve and protect the nation deserve to retire with dignity and peace of mind.

The DG also briefed the President on ongoing efforts to ensure the value preservation of pension fund assets, especially in the face of inflation and macroeconomic pressures, as well as plans to introduce foreign currency contributions to enable Nigerians in the diaspora to participate in the pension system

President Tinubu supported the reforms, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to inclusive growth and protection for ordinary Nigerians.

During the briefing, the DG updated the President on a suite of transformative pension initiatives to enhance retiree welfare and expand the Pension Scheme’s reach.
