The Military Pensions Board says the delay in the receipt of payment of Security Debarment Allowance by eligible military retirees was due to hitches between the Central Bank of Nigeria and disbursing banks.
The Chairman of the board, Rear Adm. Saburi Lawal, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
Lawal said the delay did not emanate from the board but from technical hitches experienced between the CBN and the disbursing banks of the retirees and Next-of-kins of deceased pensioners.
He said the board had, however, assured the retirees that efforts were being made to resolve the observed problems and commence payment.
