Morning Brief: Tinubu Approves Up to 80% Salary Increase for Soldiers

Here are the leading stories in today’s newspaper roundup. President Bola Tinubu has approved salary increases of 30% to 80% for members of the Armed Forces. About 25,000 personnel are expected to benefit when the new pay structure begins on September 1. Other major developments include Rotimi Amaechi’s defence of Catholic bishops’ right to criticise government, police inviting VeryDarkMan over allegations against an AIG, and the rollout of the maritime manifest phase of Nigeria’s National Single Window project. Also in the headlines are a court ruling on the Electoral Act, WAEC result-checking guidance, Wike’s comments on religious leaders and the 2023 election, FIFA’s emergency meeting, and Seun Kuti’s response to reports about Peller’s wedding.

The approval is notable, but it may be too early to treat it as settled until the new structure actually begins in September.

It would help if officials clearly explain the eligibility categories, payment timeline, and how personnel can confirm their updated salaries.
