Nigerian Government Restores Pensions to 2,141 Civil War Veterans, Closing Decades-Long Gap

The Nigerian government has reinstated pensions for 2,141 civil war veterans, closing a long-standing gap in benefits denial. The move by the Military Pension Board (MPB) follows a verification exercise to reconcile records and honor the sacrifices of veterans.

This initiative aims to restore dignity to the veterans and marks a significant step towards reconciliation and strengthening public trust in Nigeria's social security institutions.
