The Federal Government has announced plans for a new pay rise for military personnel as part of ongoing efforts to improve their welfare, boost morale, and strengthen the nation’s security architecture.
The government said the anticipated salary adjustment is intended to recognise the sacrifices and dedication of members of the Armed Forces while enhancing their motivation and overall well-being.
The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (Rtd), disclosed this while delivering the keynote address at a one-day training and financial empowerment workshop for widows and wives of service personnel serving in theatres of operation.
