Peter Akah, an advocate for a New Nigeria, has called for improved welfare for members of the Nigerian military. He made the appeal on Monday during an interview on Channels Television's 'The Morning Brief'. Akah stressed that a nation's security is linked to how well its military personnel are treated. "A well-taken care of military is a well-protected nation," he said.
He expressed concern over the treatment of those who speak out on military welfare issues. He noted that someone is currently being questioned and detained for raising concerns about the conditions of service members. Akah also referenced reports that an officer has been dismissed following a similar complaint.
He questioned the rigidity of military laws, asking, "Are military laws made for the officers or the officers made for the laws?" Akah urged military authorities to respond promptly and transparently to public concerns. He suggested that if conditions are satisfactory, the military should release information to that effect to counter criticism.
