CAN THE NEW NIGERIAN MILITARY SALARY CHANGE ANYTHING IN FIGHTING INSECURITY?

[FrankoKool]

Nigerian military change the salary structure of her personals, for a long time the personals of the Nigerian military have been under paid even with the condition and challenges they face since the beginning of insurgency in the country, so many platforms have been used to reach out to the government to look into the salary of the soldiers in other to boost their morals, encourage them to put more efforts.

Now this call have been answered by the federal government,though looking at the economy of the country the new salary can't still do much, but do we think this money can make a soldier at the front line do more? Is their something the federal government need to do different outside increment in the salary?

The increment is a welcome development and one of the best to hear that is if it will reflect in their bank accounts because the increment may be an audio increment as everything is possible in Nigeria.
The reason for the uncontrollable banditry and insurgency in Nigeria is not because of poor salary scope but  politically controlled, which is why even with the hardworking effort introduced by the military it still persists.
The only way this can be controlled is when it is not fuelled politically the way it is now and the military restructured to give room for change in power in the military sector because the corruption has eaten deep into the military sector.

This is needful that the government are supposed to do long ago and seeing the structure of the new military salary review, the government will be thinking that they have tried best by increasing the military salary, if we start analyzing the sacrifices that all armed forces do on a daily basis, you will understand that there is no increase of salary will be equivalent to it but for the sake of love the military and other paramilitary has for the country of fighting insecurity, so the new salary of  military can not change anything of fighting insecurity in the country because even without the increment, military and other agencies has been fighting insecurity in the country as best as they can and will should also that the same military works under command and once a commad is been given to a military personnel, he will surely execute the Job.

Salary increase is good. But we have also shift our attention to the poor facilities this people use, no better equipment to fight insurgencies, lack of amenities. So may loopholes here and there. And what is even the salary increase that will even make headline in the first place. Still peanut. Increase pay doesn't even address the issue that has plagued the armies for so long. I see no joy in here. Even the increased pay supposed to have happened a long time ago. So this is just waste of space at the news center.

The increments won't change anything, it's good the government answered and increased their pay but I don't think that will change anything,the inflation on goods and product are high even the money will not sort all their problems but it's just better than before , military personnel are actually trying, especially fighting for the country ,but because of the rate of corruption I don't think they will want to go beyond their capacity just because of increments that is been made,our government should just do better for her people,aside the increase in pay , their is still lot of things our government should do for those soliders is not really easy to fight for a society,lot of sacrifice are been put in front of them .

I wonder why the government has to think twice or be reminded to increase salaries of not just security personnel but as regards other sectors of the economy where be it that we are experiencing inflation that even minimum wage cannot compensate for, let alone those security personnel fighting for and putting their lives on the line for the interest of this country.
Even if the federal government increases salary of the military personnel, how soon will it be effected or how much is added to boost morale when all is not well economically with the nations portfolio management.

I haven’t seen the news, please can you add a source link to the post.

Increasing the salary of any worker will boost their moral but that will still depend on the allocation and the nature of their work in respect to what is given to them. The Nigeria security operatives are supposed to be one of the best paid workers in the country, but their salary structure has been a joke and no much consideration has been given to them despite the sacrifices they make. If the salary has been increased, then it is a welcome development but I hope it will be enough for them that they feel the impact of the increment because of the current economic situation in the country.

As we all know, as long as the Nigerian military is still dealing with old or outdated ammunition and surveillance tools, in my opinion increasing security personnel and their salary alone will not motivate them to face enemies at some point. Nigeria is among the best countries with a strong army in Africa but as the terrorism is increasing, the Nigerian government should put them as a high priority and equip them with everything they need to fight insecurity. Anyone found embezzling from that budget should be dealt with and I'm also sure that the insurgency may not have escalated to this extent if the government had done the necessary things from the beginning.

To be honestly speaking, the new increment in the salary of Nigerian army personnel is enough to boost their morale to do more than they did earlier. Because with this now, these soldiers can now buy more things for themselves and their family members, unlike before when the salary was just N104,700 per month. Because this is one reason why the United States Army will remain the best in the world, simply because soldiers the US Army soldiers earn more than we here in Nigeria, and likewise they are also privileged to good health care services and more.
