Tinubu names Abubakar Adamu as MPB Chairman
President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of retired Air Vice Marshal Abubakar Idris Adamu as the new Chairman of the Military Pensions Board (MPB), with the role taking effect from December 1, 2025.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
According to the presidency, the decision is part of the Federal Government’s push to improve transparency, accountability and overall efficiency in how pensions for military retirees are managed.
Segun Imohiosen, the Director of Information and Public Relations, said AVM Adamu is bringing many years of financial and leadership experience to the position, a move expected to help strengthen trust in the pension system for retired service personnel.
A senior officer with a distinguished career in the Nigerian Air Force, he has held several strategic positions, including Directing Staff at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Deputy Director of Budget at the Defence Intelligence Agency, and Principal Staff Officer (Finance) at the Air Warfare Centre.
He also previously commanded the 081 Pay and Accounting Group, served as Director of Finance at NAF Headquarters, and later became Managing Director of the Nigerian Air Force Investment Limited (NAFIL), overseeing the NAFIL Group of Companies. He was most recently a Directing Staff at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru.
President Tinubu urged the new chairman to “uphold integrity, demonstrate patriotism, and deploy his financial expertise to improve the welfare of military veterans,” emphasizing that the administration remains committed to ensuring that ex-service personnel receive the benefits due to them without delay or bottlenecks.
AVM Adamu replaces the outgoing leadership as the Military Pensions Board prepares for renewed structural reforms aimed at safeguarding the entitlements of Nigeria’s military retirees.
