President Bola Tinubu has approved a new salary structure for members of the Nigerian Armed Forces, with pay increases ranging from 30% to 80%, in a move aimed at improving troop welfare and boosting morale.
Under the new arrangement, which takes effect on September 1, 2026, officers from the rank of Brigadier General to General will receive a 30% salary increase. Personnel from Colonel down to Warrant Officer will get a 50% increase, while soldiers from Private to Staff Sergeant will benefit from the highest increase of 80%. About 250,000 military personnel are expected to benefit from the new package.
The review will raise the Armed Forces' annual salary bill from ₦660 billion to ₦924 billion, reflecting the Federal Government's commitment to improving the welfare of military personnel amid ongoing operations against terrorism, banditry and other security threats.
President Tinubu said members of the Armed Forces, who continue to risk their lives to protect the country, deserve better welfare and support. He also reaffirmed his administration's commitment to modernising the military through improved equipment, technology and better working conditions.

“According to reports, the guy in the video went to Kano market and start preaching to people that they shouldn't vote for Peter Obi, that they should instead vote back Tinubu.”

Some people out there genuinely still think that one Bola Tinuboobooroo somewhere is the one making these decisions.
I am tired of explaining what should be obvious to anyone but the world's most hard-headed people...
