Nigerian military personnel's pay increases have been approved, according to President Bola Tinubu. 

At an ecumenical breaking of fast with Service Chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu made the announcement. 

He promised that his administration would effectively address the housing and welfare issues faced by military members.

According to Tinubu: “The interfaith breaking of fast together is a reflection of the diversity of our nation, but God has ordained this period to coincide with one another for self integration, self actualization, and the interfaith base is very laudable that we can celebrate breaking bread together.

“I have listened to COAS and recent approvals given to the Army is well placed. My duty is to thank all of you on behalf of a grateful nation, knowing fully well that many times you are without your families, some are facing attacks from banditry and terrorists.

"We will work hard together, whether in the office or in the medical section, you have been working to serve the country and protecting our sovereignty.

“This nation will always be grateful to you and your sufferings will not be in vain, I can assure you.
