Kalu Applauds Tinubu’s Military Pay Rise, Urges Renewed Commitment

Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving a salary increase for members of the Nigerian Armed Forces, describing the decision as a demonstration of the President’s commitment to the welfare of those safeguarding the nation.

Kalu noted that the move recognises the enormous sacrifices made daily by officers and men of the Armed Forces in protecting lives, preserving Nigeria’s territorial integrity and tackling the country’s security challenges. He said improving their welfare is not only appropriate but also a strategic investment in building a stronger and more effective security system.
The former Abia State governor urged the military and other security agencies to reciprocate the gesture by continuing to serve Nigerians with courage, professionalism, fairness and respect for human dignity. According to him, public confidence is strengthened when security personnel discharge their constitutional responsibilities with dedication and integrity.
He further stressed that national security remains the bedrock of economic growth, national unity and sustainable development. Kalu expressed confidence that with improved welfare, renewed commitment from security personnel and the support of all Nigerians, the country would continue to make meaningful progress in addressing its security challenges.
The senator concluded by praying for God’s blessings upon the Federal Republic of Nigeria and reaffirmed his message of hope with the slogan, “Keep Hope Alive!”
