“The Board in collaboration with Ministry of Defence will notify its esteemed pensioners and stakeholders when it concludes arrangement to conduct any verification exercise,” Sqd Ldr. Ezendu reiterated.
He, however, advised Military Pensioners and other stakeholders to disregard any fake information circulating on the social media and other communication channels.
