Federal Government pensioners have protested at the headquarters of the Ministry of Finance over unpaid accrued rights.
National Chairman of the National Union of Contributory Pensioners, Comrade Sylva Nwaiwu, who led the senior citizens to the Ministry, called for the immediate payment of their accrued rights.

Nwaiwu, however, said many of the pensioners who retired since 2003 were yet to have such entitlements paid to their PFAs by the Federal Government.
