Buratai Hails Tinubu Over Military Pay Rise

Former Nigerian military leader Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai has lauded President Bola Tinubu's administration for approving a pay rise for military personnel. Buratai specifically highlighted that the highest increment was allocated to junior personnel, a move he believes directly acknowledges those who bear the brunt of the nation's counter-insurgency and internal security operations.

This decision is seen as a significant step towards recognizing the sacrifices and dedication of soldiers operating in demanding and often dangerous conditions. The pay increase is expected to serve as a morale booster, encouraging personnel to continue their efforts in maintaining peace and security across the country.

The announcement, as reported by Vanguard News, underscores the administration's commitment to improving the welfare of the armed forces. By addressing the financial concerns of the military, the government aims to enhance their operational effectiveness and overall job satisfaction.
