President Bola Tinubu on Monday presided over the National Defense Council meeting, where he approved the new Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) for officers and enlisted personnel in the Nigerian Armed Forces.
This approval, announced by Dada Olusegun, the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, marks a significant step towards improving the welfare of soldiers, ratings, and airmen across the country.
The revised HTACOS aims to address longstanding concerns within the military regarding service conditions by streamlining policies for both officers and enlisted personnel.
On his verified X handle, Olusegun wrote: “President Tinubu presides over the National Defense Council meeting, approved the new harmonized terms and conditions of service (HTACOS) officers, soldiers/ratings/airmen.”
The Tinubu administration, through its harmonized framework, aims to uplift morale and improve the operational readiness of Nigeria’s defense forces. In a high-level defense council meeting, President Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to supporting the armed forces in their vital role of ensuring national security. This initiative is part of the government’s broader strategy to focus on welfare reforms and reinforce institutional frameworks within the military. The Ministry of Defense is expected to release further details of the harmonized terms in the coming days.
