Troops holding the line across Nigeria’s hotspots—good news from the top! Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Olufemi Oluyede assured soldiers, sailors, and airmen at Monday’s Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day Social Night: salary hikes, welfare upgrades, and post-service perks are coming, backed by President Tinubu and Service Chiefs. “Be hopeful—something positive is on the way,” he beamed, vowing 2026 as a turnaround year.
Beyond pay bumps, spouses get low-interest business loans, while serving and retired personnel score affordable housing. Oluyede hailed their resilience for nationwide wins, honored fallen heroes, and thanked military families’ “silent power.” CDA Rear Adm. Gideon Kachim called it a unwind-and-reflect night, awarding stars like COAS Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu and entertainers Tuface, Zule Zoo, Magnito.
Duty meets dignity—Nigeria’s forces geared up.
