• September 27, 2022

The Military Pensions Board says it has yet to fix a date for verification of military pensioners.

“Although the board is working towards conducting a verification exercise of military pensioners on its payroll, the board will adequately inform military pensioners of the date and time when all preparations for the exercise are concluded,” a statement by the military board explained.

The board added, “Accordingly, our esteemed military retirees are please urged to remain calm and patient. Finally, all military pensioners are advised to always rely on established official means of communication provided by the board to source their information.”

It urged the pensioners to call 09087447782 or 09087994694 or email info@mpb.ng to “confirm any issue that concerns them.” 

The board said it appreciated the retirees for their “usual support and understanding.”
