Military veterans have called on the federal government to immediately implement the approved N250,000 minimum wage for serving personnel.
They accused the authorities of delaying the implementation of what they described as a salary review approved by the National Assembly and assented to by President Bola Tinubu.
The demand was made on Monday during a retreat attended by more than 70 retired military officers at the Armed Forces Headquarters Command Mess 1 in Abuja.
Olufemi Oluyede, chief of defence staff, was represented by five senior military officers after reportedly attending an engagement at the Presidential Villa.
Speaking after the meeting, Innocent Azubike, a retired colonel who is one of the organisers, said the veterans presented documentary evidence to the military representatives to support their claims that the salary review had already received legislative and presidential approval.
