Tinubu’s Military Pay Rise ‘ll Boost National Security, Says Kalu — Sunday Aborisade in Abuja
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing the Abia North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, praised President Bola Tinubu’s decision to approve a significant salary increase for military personnel. Kalu stated that the move would enhance national security and morale within the armed forces. The increase, which has been approved by the administration, is expected to address long-standing grievances among military personnel and improve their living standards.
The decision comes amid ongoing efforts by Tinubu’s government to stabilize the economy and restore public confidence in security institutions. Military officials have previously expressed concerns over low pay and poor working conditions, which they argue have contributed to low morale and operational inefficiencies.
Kalu emphasized that the salary hike would not only improve the financial situation of military personnel but also strengthen the country’s defense capabilities. The move is seen as part of a broader strategy to modernize the armed forces and ensure they are better equipped to handle current and future security challenges.
This development follows recent announcements by the Tinubu administration on economic reforms aimed at reducing inflation and improving public services. (thisdaylive.com)
