The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Mohammed Ali Ndume thinks the Nigerian military is not well-equipped to win the years-long war against terrorism in the country.
He told the Nigerian media on Monday that the meager salaries and other allowances the military are paid were not motivating enough and asked President Bola Tinubu to supply more funds.
“What they are getting is too small to even take care of their daily needs in the field while fighting,” the Senator lamented.
Ndume believes that when the “right things”, referring to raising security agents’ emoluments, are done, the country will see “a different outcome in the ongoing insurgency war in various parts of the country.”
“We need to win this war. But we need to do more,” he added.
