Veterans Question AYAGL's Role in Military Pensions Board

Veterans have expressed skepticism about the credibility of AYAGL concerning its role with the Military Pensions Board (MPB). In a statement, they criticized AYAGL for its previous criticisms of the MPB and questioned the organization's qualifications and integrity.

The veterans highlighted concerns over AYAGL's sudden change in stance and suggested that external interests may have influenced its position. They emphasized that the matter of military pensions should not be politicized and that the welfare of veterans must remain a priority.

The veterans also pointed out that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has jurisdiction over financial crimes, indicating that the MPB's operations should not be undermined by external pressures. They called for a focus on global best practices in managing post-service welfare and urged that decisions regarding veterans' welfare be guided by national interest.

The statement concluded by stressing the importance of due process and the need for transparency in discussions about veterans' welfare.
