Oluwakayode Olumide Ogundamisi took to his
Facebook account to expose the real salary of
Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram.
Ogundamisi said that the reality is that their daily
feeding allowance is said to be N500.
He said: “Yesterday I stated Nigerian soldiers
fighting Boko Haram earn N60K as salary. The
correct figure is N49K = $249 monthly or £157
monthly. Daily feeding is N500 = £1.60p or
$2.50. Go figure defence budget and please
defence budget covers not just the Nigerian Army,
it includes all the Armed Forces and allied
security agencies. As I dig more from sources and
get more documents I weep more for Nigeria.
What is being done to those men and women who
chose to fight for Nigeria is not just criminal but
inhuman. A probe of all defence spendings is
needed now! Not tomorrow.”
