Reactions have trailed the disclosure by the Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, that Nigerian soldiers now earn a minimum monthly salary of N100,000.
Veterans and serving personnel described the amount as grossly inadequate.
This is as they accused President Bola Tinubu of failing to implement a salary increment he promised nearly four months ago.
This comes as President Tinubu on Thursday evening convened a security meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, comprising the entire military command, intelligence leadership and top security advisers, including his Special Adviser on Homeland Security, Major General Adeyinka Famadewa (retd.), whom he appointed in May.
A retired soldier, Abdul Isiak, said the current pay could not meet the cost of living.
