In a heartfelt plea addressed to President Bola Tinubu, a Nigerian Army sergeant highlights the dire financial situation faced by junior army personnel.
The soldier reveals that stagnant salaries, unchanged since late President Yar’Adua’s administration, have forced soldiers into illegal activities such as oil bunkering, arms deals, and kidnapping to make ends meet. The open letter, titled “OPEN LETTER TO ADDRESS OUR SUFFERING IN THE NIGERIAN ARMY,” urges President Tinubu to intervene and investigate the army’s internal issues, emphasizing the urgent need for a review of junior soldiers’ salaries.
