President Bola Tinubu on Monday presided over the National Defence Council meeting, during which he approved the new Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) for officers and enlisted personnel in the Nigerian Armed Forces.
President Tinubu, who chaired the high-level defense council meeting, reiterated his commitment to supporting the armed forces in their crucial role of safeguarding national security.
The approval, which was disclosed by the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, represents a major step towards improving the welfare of officers, soldiers, ratings, and airmen across the nation.
The revised HTACOS is expected to address longstanding concerns within the military regarding service conditions, streamlining policies for officers and enlisted personnel alike.
Olusegun, in his verified X handle, wrote:
“President Tinubu presides over the National Defense Council meeting , approved the new harmonized terms and conditions of service (HTACOS ) officers, soldiers /ratings /airmen”,.
By adopting the harmonized framework, the Tinubu administration aims to bolster morale and enhance the operational readiness of Nigeria’s defense forces. The development reflects his administration’s broader strategy of prioritizing welfare reforms and strengthening institutional structures.
Details of the harmonized terms are expected to be released by the Ministry of Defence in the coming days.
