The Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, has disclosed that the Federal Government has increased the minimum monthly salary of Nigerian soldiers from N49,000 to N100,000 while dismissing claims that troops are poorly fed.
Musa made the remarks during an interview with News Central on Wednesday ahead of the broadcast of its NC Exclusive programme on Friday.
The minister, however, maintained that the military remains underfunded despite recent improvements in personnel welfare.
Responding to a question on whether the current defence budget was adequate, Musa replied, “It’s not enough.”
