Maj Gen Julius Osifo has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Military Pensions Board, pledging to ensure prompt payment of benefits to retired military personnel.
Osifo said he would work to streamline the board’s processes and improve the timeliness of pension disbursements.
The board is responsible for administering pensions to retired officers and enlisted personnel across Nigeria.
Osifo’s pledge comes amid concerns that many veterans have experienced delays in receiving their entitlements.
He added that the board would review existing procedures to prevent future payment backlogs.
