Civil War Veterans Urge Tinubu to Resolve Unpaid Pension Arrears
Civil War veterans are urgently calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other key officials to address their longstanding pension issues.
A group of 63 retired soldiers, who served between 1967 and 1978, has voiced their frustration over unpaid pension arrears, despite a substantial allocation of N134.7 billion approved by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2020 for military veteran pensions.
Alhaji Bello Oseni, the secretary representing the retired soldiers, revealed that their documentation was confirmed by the Military Pensioner Board in 2023.
However, they are still awaiting their payments. The veterans, who are now between 76 and 85 years old, are facing severe financial difficulties. Some are even residing in their family homes, built in the early 20th century, due to their dire economic situation.
The veterans have reached out to former presidents, members of the Senate and House of Representatives, senior advocates of Nigeria, and human rights activists, seeking their intervention. They also urge civil society organizations to support their cause and advocate on their behalf.
Their appeal to President Tinubu and legislative bodies is a desperate plea for the resolution of their pension issues, highlighting the urgency and gravity of their financial hardship.

Peter Obi Raises Concerns Over Nigeria’s Hunger Index Ranking

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
