And there are 60 of them which can translate between #42b-#36b for the retiring Generals. 😢
Not all the 60

The one star generals will get a toyota camry, 10k dollars, and other lesser benefits.

Which is also much if you ask me.

It has been perfected in a sustainable manner, the legal framework for looking after the welfare of the seemingly rich public servants and careless about the standard of leaving of the general masses in Nigeria.

Retirement Benefits: Service Chiefs To Go Home With Bulletproof SUVs, Prado Jeeps, $60,000 For Medicals
By Toby Moses


The former Chief of Defence Staff and the two other service chiefs, who were retired from Service by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday, will each go home with one bulletproof SUV and one Prado Jeep, or an equivalent vehicle as a backup.

These vehicles are to be maintained by the respective Services and replaced every four years.

According to the new Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) 2024, signed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu — a copy of which was obtained by Sunday LEADERSHIP — the retired officers will also receive $20,000 per year for medical expenses.

The document, marked ‘Restricted’, also outlines the benefits due to retired generals and other senior officers of the Armed Forces upon leaving service.

President Bola Tinubu yesterday removed the service chiefs and appointed their replacements.

The statement announcing their removal, signed by Sunday Dare, the special adviser to the president on media and public communication, said the action was taken to further the federal government’s efforts to strengthen the national security architecture.

The President appointed former Army Chief, General Olufemi Oluyede, as the new Chief of Defence Staff, replacing General Christopher Musa. The new Chief of Army Staff is Major-General W. Shaibu, Air Vice Marshal S. K. Aneke becomes Chief of Air Staff, while Rear Admiral I. Abbas is the new Chief of Naval Staff.

The Chief of Defence Intelligence, Major-General E. A. P. Undiendeye, retains his position.

Those sacked alongside General Musa are the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar.

Each of the service chiefs is also entitled to five domestic workers, one security officer, nine standard guards, three service drivers, firearms, and other benefits.

Part of the document reads:

“The following benefits shall be the entitlements of the CDS and Service Chiefs: one bulletproof SUV or equivalent vehicle, to be maintained by the Service and replaced every four years; one Prado Jeep or equivalent backup vehicle; retention of all military uniforms and accoutrements to be worn for appropriate ceremonies; five domestic aides (2 x Service cooks, 2 x stewards, and 1 x civilian gardener); one Aide-de-Camp/Security Officer; one Special Assistant (Lt/Capt or equivalent) or one personal assistant (WO or equivalent); standard guard (9 soldiers); three Service drivers; one Service orderly; escorts (to be provided by appropriate military units/formations as the need arises); retention of personal firearms (to be retrieved by the relevant Service upon the officer’s demise); and free medical cover in Nigeria and abroad.”

According to the document, Lieutenant-Generals and equivalents are entitled to the following: one Toyota Hilux vehicle and one Toyota Land Cruiser or equivalent Jeep of the same value; two cooks, two stewards, four residential guards, one Service orderly, two Service drivers, and free medical care in Nigeria and abroad up to the value of $20,000 per year.

Furthermore, retiring Major-Generals, Brigadier-Generals, or their equivalents will be entitled to: one Toyota Land Cruiser or equivalent vehicle, one cook, one steward, two residential guards, one Service orderly, one Service driver, and free medical cover in Nigeria and abroad up to $15,000 per annum.

Similarly, officers of one-star rank are to enjoy the following: one Toyota Camry or equivalent vehicle, one Service driver, two residential guards, one Service orderly, and free medical cover in Nigeria and abroad up to $10,000 per annum.


Federal Government to Spend More on Other Retiring Generals

Yesterday’s retirement of the service chiefs is expected to trigger voluntary and forced retirements within the military hierarchy, as some senior generals who are contemporaries of the outgoing service chiefs may have to proceed on retirement in line with military tradition.

The new service chiefs, who are members of Course 40 and 41 of the Nigerian Defence Academy, replace their predecessors from Course 39, including the new Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede.

By this appointment, generals from Courses 39, 40, and some from Course 41 across the Services will have to retire, as they are not expected to salute their juniors who have now been elevated above them.

Only the poor and irrelevant people will be angry about these benefits,

This is why it's recommended that you go to school and go for a good profession and strive hard to be a better person in life

Rather than sitting behind your phone and lamenting that you are hungry that they are giving some people big benefits

If you are a useless person to yourself and society and the type that always say "school la scam" you will only be rewarded with crumbs
Wow! Wow! No wonder the country keeps retrogressing. Teachers and Lecturers are all useless goin by your assertion.

Every profession is equally important for the sustainace of any economy. I am not against these rewards. But let there be equity.
Same should be extended to Teachers, Lecturers, Medical doctors, nurses, and even junior officers in the military and paramilitary.

35 years illustrious service is no joke , they deserve to go home with Their armored cars , ithe armored cars will remind them daily how much they failed to make Nigeria secure .... For those who have used armored cars , they are not fun to drive , very heavy and they put strain on the engines especially when they get older
The armoured vehicles will be replaced every four years.

This is commendable. If FG can maintain this good gestures to ex service chiefs for 10 years then the incoming service chiefs will know that there is a future for them after service. Unless the greedy ones.

Don't say nonsense. Do you know how much a brand new bulletproof suv and Prado jeep is worth? Do you know the value of $20,000 every year for medicals alone? Calculate the cost of salary of security and the domestic staff alone and you will know we are talking about billions of naira and it's for life oh

Pure bribery.

To ensure they remain quiet and obedient.
Not true sir.

Even directors and permanent secretaries in ministries, parastatals and even some privately owned companies are allowed to go home with their vehicles, how much more a service chief?

The bullet proof is even important because to be a service chief, you would attracted a lot of dangerous enemies in the course of discharging your duty. And it’s the country’s duty to protect you after you would’ve retired or relieved of your duty.

This is not to excuse the fact that our government over do things.
