Soldiers Allege Delay in Payment of Scarce Skills Allowances at 1 Division

Some Nigerian soldiers attached to 1 Division have alleged that their scarce skills allowances remain unpaid, weeks after the expected payment date. The affected personnel said the delay has put pressure on household expenses. They claimed that enquiries to the division’s finance office were met with an explanation that there were network-related problems. One soldier, who asked not to be named, alleged that delayed allowance payments have become recurring under the division. The soldiers called on the Federal Government and military authorities to investigate the claims and ensure that all outstanding payments are settled.
