Sunday Aborisade in Abuja

The representative of Abia North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has hailed President Bola Tinubu’s approval of a substantial salary increase for members of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

He described the move as a strategic investment in national security and the welfare of troops battling insecurity across the country.

Kalu, who chairs the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission (SEDC), also urged military personnel and other security agencies to reciprocate the gesture by upholding professionalism, fairness and respect for the rights of citizens in the discharge of their constitutional duties.
