On the 3rd of May, 2023, the protest will be at the National Assembly headquarters in Abuja. While on the 5th of May 2023, the protesters will be at ASO ROCK.
“Serving police officers will join the protest due to unpaid promotion arrears of 2017,2018,2019, and 2020 whereas their counterparts in the civil service under the same IPPIS have been paid and cleared of the arrears.
“The six months arrears of Salary increment from January to June is yet to be paid by the police authority and the IPPIS due to conspiracy. All members are hereby advised to be present.”
