Members of the Nigerian Armed Forces retirees have shut down the Federal Ministry of Finance as of Thursday morning.
The protest by the Coalition of Military Pensioners follows the non-payment of the 20% to 28% salary increment to the retirees from January to November 2024.

Payment of N32,000 added to pension;
Payment of Security Debarment Allowance (SDA) in bulk, and
Refund of deductions made from the pensions of medically boarded soldiers.
