Breaking: Military retirees shut down federal ministry of finance
Some members of the Nigerian Armed Forces retirees under the umbrella of the Coalition of Military Pensioners in Abuja have shut down the Federal Ministry of Finance on Thursday.
They stormed the ministry over the non-payment of their 20% to 28% salary increment from January to November 2024.
The retired military officers who came from different chapters lamented the failure of the Federal Government to pay them their entitlements.
Their demands are payment of palliatives from October 2023 to November 2024, payment of N32,000 added to pension, payment of Security Debarment Allowance (SDA) in bulk and refund of deductions made from the pensions of medically boarded soldiers among others.
