The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, has announced a 100% increase in the feeding allowance for troops, raising it from ₦1,500 to ₦3,000 per day.
This increment, which takes effect at the end of March, is aimed at improving the welfare and nutrition of military personnel, particularly those on active duty.
The decision is part of ongoing efforts to boost morale and enhance the overall well-being of soldiers in the Nigerian Army. It also reflects the Army leadership’s commitment to addressing the needs of its personnel in light of current economic realities.
The announcement has been met with positive reactions from troops and defense analysts, who see it as a step in the right direction toward ensuring better conditions for soldiers serving the nation.
Further details on the implementation of the new feeding allowance are expected in the coming weeks.
