Egbetokun noted that the hardship faced by retired officers has instilled fear and anxiety among serving officers, weakening morale across the ranks.
He emphasized that the police leadership supports exiting the CPS, but decisions must be guided by prudence and strategy to avoid future pitfalls.
The IG announced a new welfare incentive aimed at boosting morale among serving officers, including accelerated promotion for exceptional professionalism.
Egbetokun's comments come after retired police officers protested in Abuja, demanding to be removed from the CPS, which they claim has shortchanged them.
