Mass Resignation Hits Nigerian Army Over Poor Welfare

Dozens of soldiers have reportedly discharged themselves voluntarily to join foreign militaries, including the British and Ukrainian forces.

The mass exodus is attributed to the deplorable state of welfare, inadequate equipment, and lack of motivation within the Nigerian Army.

According to SaharaReporters, a military source, said the resignations are largely from the medical corps, with many more soldiers awaiting approval to leave.

The sources expressed frustration over the Nigerian government’s failure to provide decent living conditions, modern weapons, and adequate compensation, driving soldiers to seek better opportunities abroad.

“A set of 27 personnel are leaving and this set is only medical corps. Infantry corps and armoured corps are still coming. So many more will leave,” a source in the Nigerian military informed SaharaReporters.

“Soldiers are leaving because the work is no longer sustainable. People are running every day to join British Army, Ukraine, Russia, Commonwealth army and the likes. That’s what is happening now,” the source added.

Another source revealed that even the planned protest by soldiers has been hinted at, with many praying it happens soon. “Even the planned protest, many soldiers are praying it should happen,” the source said.

A document obtained by SaharaReporters confirmed the voluntary discharge of 27 soldiers, with more expected to follow.

The document, released by the Department of Personnel Management Muhammadu Buhari Cantonment, approved the discharge of the soldiers, who are to proceed on terminal leave before their disengagement date takes effect.
