A new set of Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) for officers and enlisted personnel in the Nigerian Armed Forces has been ratified by President Bola Tinubu during a meeting of the National Defence Council that was chaired by the president.
The announcement, made by Dada Olusegun, the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, is geared towards enhancing the welfare of soldiers, ratings, and airmen nationwide.
The updated HTACOS is expected to resolve ‘longstanding issues within the military related to service conditions, refining policies for both officers and enlisted members.’
“President Tinubu chairs the National Defense Council meeting and has approved the new harmonised terms and conditions of service (HTACOS) for officers, soldiers/ratings/airmen,” Olusegun said on his verified X account.
By implementing this harmonised framework, the Tinubu administration seeks to uplift morale and improve the operational effectiveness of Nigeria’s defence forces.
During the high-level defence council meeting, President Tinubu reaffirmed his dedication to supporting the armed forces in their vital mission of ensuring national security.
