Retired military pensioners block Finance ministry gates over unpaid benefits

Scores of retired Nigerian soldiers on Thursday blocked the entrance to the Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja, protesting the alleged delay in releasing funds to the Military Pensions Board (MPB) for the payment of their outstanding entitlements.

The pensioners said they resorted to the fresh protest after officials of the Ministry of Finance failed to honour earlier assurances that their benefits would be paid by August 10.
