The Federal Government of Nigeria will introduce insurance
packages for soldiers fighting Boko Haram in the North-East.
The Minister of Defence, Brig. Gen Mansur Dan-Ali (Retd), made
this disclosure on Friday after a special Juma’at Prayer to mark the 2016 Armed
Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Abuja. He said other numerous packages
were already being enjoyed by the soldier and this addition was to motivate
them further in order to ensure the success of the ongoing counter insurgency
operations.
“It is an additional package by President Muhammadu Buhari
to motivate our gallant armed forces and to take care of the families of the
fallen heroes.
“Normally we have package for the families of the fallen
heroes but recently we are introducing the death insurance which has not been
done before.
“I believe Nigerians are fully aware of what the military
has done so far and with their prayers, everything will come to an end very
soon,” he added.
