According to him, the implementation of the new pension rates and payment of arrears have been processed by the board.
“The board appreciates the patience, understanding and cooperation demonstrated by military pensioners throughout the implementation process,” he said.
Mr Mohammed reaffirmed the board’s commitment to timely pension payments and continuous improvement in pension administration.
He said the MPB also acknowledged the invaluable service and sacrifices of Nigeria’s military veterans.
He urged pensioners to continue to cooperate with the board as it strives to improve pension administration and service delivery.
