The Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (retd.), has said a total of 102 ex-Biafran soldiers granted presidential pardon have been captured for payment of gratuity and other emolument by the Military Pensions Board.

Magashi spoke at the ministerial briefing to inaugurate the 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Abuja on Friday.

He stated, “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.

He promised that the ministry would continue to engage the pensioners through relevant organs such as the Nigerian Legion, the Veteran Affairs Division and the Military Pensions Board to ensur meeting government obligations.

i doubt if anyone of them will be alive.

What about giving the entitlements to their families if the Minister is sincere?

How much was the gratuity?

Probably, less than N10,000 for a commissioned officer.

Nice move. I am one person that believe the best approach to any agitation is to find a common ground to agree and move forward.
Nobody gains anything by being adamant and being stubborn to the plight of the people.

In any violence we all lose. Peace remain the best option. Nigeria cannot make any progress in an atmosphere where some people are short changed and maltreated.
- Release Nnamdi Kanu
- Restructure the country
- Grant Biafran remembrance day
- Fight Boko Haram with geniune heart
- Vote in Igbo president, after all they always voted you.
- Stop marginalizing any section.

All these will help reduce agitation.

Useless zoo government want to do all they could to aligned with the greatest men that combat them for straight 2 years, 6 months, 1 week and 2 days that but not for the support of British government and other western countries, this greatest men would've crushed the cowards that full their useless army to smithereen.

In my best of knowledge , i dont think any true Biafran soldier care about this fuccken gratuity.. they should take their gratuity and shove down their anus.

Good initiative. At least this will give south Easterners a sense of belonging to a greater one Nigeria.

PMB has done more in righting the past than any leader. Remember, how he rehabilitated Ziks Mosuleom, how he awarded Abiola his rightful deserved title of GCFR which was robbed from him... But in the heart of jaundiced ethno-religious bigots they insist on permeating the polity with hate and malice.

"many of those involved are no longer alive but those with genuine complaints can come forward with their claims for consideration" As a former Biafran soldier, go to defense headquarters for your "emolument" at your own peril. You will just cease to exist. This is a simple plot to fish out hardcore Biafran soldiers. Buhari the evil genius

Gratuity, not pension.... Why will they pay someone #10,000 as gratuity?
