The Nigerian Army has disbursed N19 million to 95 widows of fallen heroes residing in Abakpa and Awkunanaw Barracks in Enugu State to ameliorate the hardship being faced by the women.

Maj.- Gen. Adamu Abubakar, the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 82 Division of the Nigerian Army said this in a statement issued by Col. Sagir Musa, Deputy Director of Army Public Relations of the Division on Saturday in Enugu.

Musa, who explained that each of the widows received N200, 000, said that the money was presented to the widows at the division’s auditorium in Enugu on Friday.


He said that Abubakar, on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, urged the beneficiaries to make use of the money judiciously.

Musa also said that the GOC thanked Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his continuous support to the widows and the Division.

Ugwuanyi had during the 2018 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration pledged to empower the widows of fallen heroes of the Division.

The governor on Feb. 17, during the 2018 West African Social Activities (WASA) held in Abakpa Cantonment, Enugu, redeemed the pledge with a cheque of N19.6 million, which he presented to the GOC.

200,000 IS SMALL

berra than nuffn.





but then somewhere in america, relatives of fallen victims got like 100m each..

GloriaNinja:

You are right.

No amount can compensate for the loss of the loved ones who, more likely than not, are not just the breadwinners, but also have indispensable role to play in the moulding of the homes, but 200k is nowhere close to be called consolation. The military failed big time in this case.

$100m actually. Though we can't dream of getting close to half of that, 200k is too ridiculous. Is as good as nothing in this case.

200k given when nothing happened, agreed. But as a consolation to the family for the loss of a soldier is arrant nonsense. Those families deserve nothing less than 10m each as consolation in addition to the terminal benefits of the slain soldiers. Nigeria can pay more than that. What is Dino Melaye's monthly take home for being a clown in the hallow chamber for 30 days?

The general somewhere took 800k left or the Nigerian military somewhere thinks it won't be his or her families turn one day.

What can 200k do in this Buharis era??

Baba na #100m ($275,000).....

So the soldiers lives worth only 200K. If i were a nigerian soldier i would go awol Or technically manouver out of the military. So disgusting.

No one said the soldiers lives worth 200k. It is a consolation to the family of the slain soldiers, though ridiculously low.
