The Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja has been shut down by members of the Nigerian Armed Forces retirees under the umbrella of the Coalition of Military Pensioners.
The retirees’ action on Thursday morning followed the non-payment of their 20% to 28% salary increment from January to November 2024.
According to Channels TV, the retired military officers 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.
