President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the payment of gratuities to 102 pardoned ex-Biafran Soldiers.
This was revealed by Nigeria’s Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (retd.) on Friday. Magashi disclosed that the soldiers have been captured for payment of gratuity and other emoluments by the Military Pensions Board.
Speaking at the 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Abuja, he said; “It will interest you to know that the Military Pensions Board just concluded the documentation of ex-Biafran service personnel totalling 102 who were pardoned by Mr President.”
“The war ended 51 years ago and many of those involved are no longer alive but those with genuine complaints can come forward with their claims for consideration.”
He also said payment of pension and gratuities to retired military personnel had been prompt and regular, adding that the ministry in conjunction with the Military Pensions Board conducts regular verification exercises for military pensioners to streamline and check leakages in the system.
Let peace reign
It is a very right step in the right direction. Keep this up please!
Are we in 2022 already?
Fraudulent pardon!
The Anambra Nov. 6 Gubernatorial Elections on target!
The Timing is aimed at the Coming Elections to gain Support from the Biafra Agitators!
Beware of the Fulanis’ manipulations
APC will be foisted on Anambra at the end of the Day!
So Shameful!
BUHARI why are you Allowed the rotten tomatoes into the special ones. This is totally unacceptable
Who are the pardoned ex biafran soldiers ?
What are their names my dad forth as a biafran soldier he was recruited and trained he died in the year 2000 .
President Buhari has done alot for Ndigbo apart from the historic 2nd Niger Bridge.
Shut up
The 2nd Niger bridge is a scam. Just like the Mambila power project. If you doubt me go to Head bridge Onitcha
That’s not the solution.This is commuflage.
You are an ingrate!
O
That was rather ungrateful of you bro.
If anyone does something worth applause please go ahead and applaud rather than making such statements.
You are an ingrate!
Fucking Jajaweed President
The important the President should do is to negotiate with the igbos and stop the crisis of killings. Even paying them is not as important as giving them Biafra that settles it all, for we are not meant to remain in the same place till the coming of Christ.
For it is appointed for a man to die, immediately after death, JUDGEMENT. NO FORNICATORS SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.. REPENT TODAY, NO REPENTANTANCE IN THE GRAVE. JESUS IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR OPEN JESUS STILLLOVE You. Hell is really and heaven is real
O
How many of those pardoned by Mr President are alive today to enjoy the so called pension?
Issue appointment equally, avoid nepotism, tribalism, partiality and marginalisation.
He is trying, a man of peace. President buhari has a good heart towards ndigbo, just that people around makes us to think he is wicked.
They are legibly entitled to all these; that’s not favour
That’s medicine after death and believe me is gonna be Audio payment
listen we are not zombie, or where such unfortunate action occur. now tell me, how many year now, Biafra war takes place, and you boldly say Buhari has done a lot for ndi Igbo. shame on u.
Zoo man go make some nice wears first
That’s not good
