The Military Pensions Board (MPB) says it has begun the payment of security debarment allowance (SDA) to eligible military retirees and next of kin to deceased officers.
In September 2022, retired military officers staged a protest over unpaid allowances.
Two months later, President Muhammadu Buhari approved N134.7 billion for the payment of the SDA to all military veterans.
According to a statement, the payment is in line with the agreement reached at the tripartite meetings of the ministry of defence, ministry of finance, and representatives of the veteran officers’ associations.
The beneficiaries will be those on the MPB database who retired before November 9, 2017 among other criteria.
