FALSE CLAIMS of mass resignations among Nigerian soldiers have been firmly refuted by the Nigerian Army.
The military described these reports as unfounded and misleading.
The Army issued a statement today on X, rejecting the notion that there has been a mass exodus of personnel.
The Army emphasized that such resignations, whether voluntary or mandatory, are routine and follow established protocols.
Personnel who leave receive their due benefits and entitlements.
Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), has been commended for his focus on improving the welfare of soldiers.
Under his leadership, there have been notable enhancements in living conditions and overall morale.
The Army’s welfare measures include regular and timely payment of allowances, covering air transportation costs, and ensuring proper accommodation and training facilities.
The Nigerian Army urged media outlets to fact-check their information before publication to prevent the spread of misinformation and maintain public trust.
