Military veterans have demanded the immediate implementation of the approved N250,000 minimum wage for serving personnel.
They accused the Federal Government of delaying the execution of a law they said was passed by the National Assembly and assented to by President Bola Tinubu.
The demand was made on Monday during a retreat attended by over 70 military veterans at the Armed Forces Headquarters Command Mess 1, Abuja.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Olufemi Oluyede, who was expected at the meeting, was represented by five senior military officers.
According to the veterans, the CDS was attending a meeting at the Presidential Villa.
Speaking on what transpired at the meeting, one of the organisers, Col Innocent Azubike (retd.), said the veterans had presented documentary evidence to the military representatives, who acknowledged their submissions and promised to brief the CDS immediately.
He said, “The five Generals that represented the CDS collected the papers presented by veterans and accepted that what the veterans said were facts. They said they would submit their report to the CDS immediately he comes back from the State House.
