The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said on Friday that a new
salary structure had not been approved for the members of the Armed Forces of
Nigeria (AFN).
DHQ was reacting to a “fictitious document” being circulated
on some social media platforms in that regard.
“The DHQ, therefore, wishes to reiterate that the purported
new salary scale for members of the AFN being circulated is nothing but a
false and malicious publication intended to cause disaffection among members of
the AFN, as no such salary scale exists, Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, said in a
statement.
Nwachukwu said the DHQ was dismayed by the circulation of
the fictitious document which had gone viral on social media, purportedly
showing a new upgraded AFN salary structure with effect from May 2019.
“The DHQ wishes to clarify that the said document does not
exist; neither does it reflect the true salary structure of personnel of the
Armed Forces of Nigeria.
“It would be recalled that the President,
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Muhammadu Buhari, signed a new minimum
wage of N30, 000 on April 18.
“It is also very pertinent for the general public to note
that the AFN does not approve salaries for its personnel,” Nwachukwu said.
He, therefore, urged personnel and the general public to
discountenance the “fake document in its entirety’’.
