Chairman of the board, Commodore Sabiru Lawal, said this in a statement issued in Abuja.
Lawal assured all military retirees that payment of their outstanding minimum wage pension arrears would commence once the 2022 budget was passed by the national assembly and assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said that the attention of the board had been drawn to series of protests by members of some military veteran groups and their resolve to carry out more of such protests in some parts of the country and the FCT.
Although Lawal noted that the protests had remained peaceful, he, however, appealed to the pensioners to desist from any further agitation, as their demands were being addressed by relevant government agencies.
