Some retired soldiers are protesting salary and pension gaps among the ranks of serving and retired military personnel on Monday in Abuja.

The protesters are seen with mats and banners.

One of the banners they carried, said, "Review the wide disparity in pay and pension across the ranks of servicing and retired personnel”

This protest is coming at a time when the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been engaged in a seven month industrial action and also at a time that the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) is threatening to shut down the national grid for a second time of protest.
