SOLDIERS SALARY LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED

1. As a trustee of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, i humble wish to address this letter to you who called us to serve the nation. The Nigeria Army (NA) is the land component of the Armed Forces created to defend and maintain its territorial integrity from external aggressions and act in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon by Mr president.

2. In the face of security challenge bedevilling the nation,men of the armed forces sacrifice their lives. Despite the risks involved, NA fail in their responsibility and duty to meet the
benefits and services of solders not minding the consequences it will breed with time.
Perhaps, the concept is that "SOLDIERS ARE ILLITERATES WITH NO PROSPECTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE” The system preaches patriotism, discipline, loyalty and dedication to duty, regrettable sir, our meager salary make it difficult for us to care for our families and own personal house while in active service.

3.PAINFULLY, we buy uniforms, boots and other miltary kits from same salary to serve Nigeria.
Below Is salary breakdown or your soldiers" per a day/montth
A. Warrant Oficers salary is #95,000 /31 days= #3,064 per day (28 years in service)
B. Staff Sergeant salary is #84,000/31 days=#2709 per day(26 years in service)
C.Serget salary is #68,000/31 days=#2,193 per a day (21 years in service)

F. Private salary is #53,000/31days=#1,612 per a day (5 years in service)
To meet financial needs, soldiers involve in ilegal duties, sabotage arms & ammunition deals,armed robbery and kidnapping. The insensitive negligence to enhance salary and welfare of soldier in the cause of mass resignation of trained troops. Sir "The day soldiers will demand their right will be a sad day to the nation, on that day all moral sanctity would have been lost"

With due respect Sir, I mostly respectfuly request Mr President and other addresses
please stand for principes of truth and maral sanctity by hoisticaly and reflectively act on serial 3
above with a view to addressing salary and welfare package or soldiers or the Nigeria Army. victory is from God Alone
