By: Okosun Dennis<\/p>\n

The Military Pensions Board (MPB) has distance itself from publications making the rounds that it has fixed a date for the verification of military pensioners across the country.<\/p>\n

“Although, the Board is working towards conducting a verification exercise of military pensioners on its payroll in the near future, no date has been fixed yet for the exercise.<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer,
\nMilitary Pensions Board, Flight Lieutenant Olayinka Lawal denied in Abuja on Monday that the board had fixed a date as reported in “one of our national dailies and in the social media informing military retirees and the general public of the commencement of a verification exercise from November 26 to December 9 for military retirees.<\/p>\n

“The MPB wishes to inform our esteemed pensioners to disregard the said publication in its entirety.<\/p>

He further explained that “For clarification purposes, the MPB would like to inform that the purported story was lifted from the website of a popular newspaper which was published 3 years back during the preparation for the 2017 verification exercise.<\/p>\n

Flt Lt Lawal, therefore, called on military pensioners to remain calm as the Board would adequately inform them whenever the exercise is to commence.<\/p>\n

He advised all military pensioners to always rely on established official means of communication provided by the Board to source their information.<\/p>\n

In addition, he admonished Pensioners to call the Board on 09087447782 or 09087994694 or send an email to info@mpb.ng in order to confirm any issue that concerns them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
