Nigerian Army has reportedly backed #EndBadGovernmentInNigeria protests over hardship and hunger in barracks.
We soldiers here in Borno are in full support of this protest due to the hardship in the country, everything has now gone up in price. Our salaries can no longer sustain these current prices right now, we need urgent intervention. If not, things will gradually go out of control, many soldiers can no longer pay for their children NECO, WAEC fees not even talk of university or higher institutions fees,” one of the soldiers told SaharaReporters.

“There’s hunger in all army barracks right now, soldiers are selling their property for them to survive till the end of the month, this has been happening since January 2024. We need palliatives in the barracks as well. Please the general public should help us too, this is the right time the rich people should help us soldiers.
