The Minister of Defence, retired Brig.-Gen. Mansur Dan-Ali, said on Friday that the Federal Government would introduce insurance package for soldiers fighting insurgency in the North-East.

Dan-Ali made the disclosure while briefing newsmen shortly after a Special Juma’at Prayer to mark the 2016 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Abuja.

He said that already there were numerous packages enjoyed by the military as a way of motivating them to ensure the success of the ongoing counter insurgency operation.

“Normally we have package for the families of the fallen heroes but recently we are introducing the death insurance which has not been done before.

“It is an additional package by President Muhammadu Buhari to motivate our gallant armed forces and to take care of the families of the fallen heroes,“ he said.

The minister solicited for prayers from all Nigerians to ensure the defeat of the Boko Haram terrorists.

He said that the military was getting it right in the ongoing fight against insurgency, and expressed optimism that Boko Haram would soon be a thing of the past in the country.

“I believe Nigerians are fully aware of what the military has done so far and with their prayers everything will come to an end very soon,“ he said.

Earlier, the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, said that the prayer was part of recognition of the sacrifice made by men and women who laid down their lives to defend the country.

“We must continue to do this not only to motivate their families that are left behind but to also encourage our men that are presently fighting insurgency,“ Saraki said.

He called on all Nigerians to always remember the fallen heroes in their daily prayers and also pray for the unity and development of the country.

On his part, the Deputy Chief Imam of the National Mosque, Sheikh Ahmad Onilewura, prayed for the victory of the armed forces over the forces of evil in the country.

The prayer was attended by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Sadique Abubakar, The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and the Minister of state for Environment, Alhaji Usman Jibrin, among others.

Good move by PMB led govt.
Also, the families of the soldiers that have died should be adequately compensated.
Change is real in 2016

Long overdue

Nice!

The best way to motivate them is to equip them with sophisticated weapons and regular payment of their benefits.

Prevention is better than cure!

To be here just dey hungry me

Very Long Overdue!

We welcome Change to Nigeria........... May God make me the Buhari of my own generation

What of the dead ones!

A welcomed idea

@Ecoterrors - She couldn't have started with Igbo because Nigeria is jointly owned by the Hausas & the Yorubas, since the Igbos massacred the Yoruba & Hausa's ancestors respectively in the 1966 coup in their greedy lust for power.

Smh..

Good move

Right step and commendable

As long as the insurance company isn't the typical insurance company.

Insurance companies make their profit by denying insurance claims. Many times, legitimate claims are denied, and the insured is left out to dry because of corporate greed.

They need to make sure the terms of coverage aren't ambiguous, and cover loss of life under any active duty capacity.

The typical insurance company would deny a claim in a scenario like:

INSURANCE: Was he killed by direct gunfire from Boko, or did he step on a landmine?

SOLDIER'S FAMILY: Landmine.

INSURANCE: Unfortunately, our insurance coverage only covers direct attack.

SOLDIER'S FAMILY: But, he died in the line of duty.

INSURANCE: HAVE A GREAT DAY!! .. NEXT!

Intellects in d house pls wats d difference btw death insurance and life assurance?

That is to say they're preparing them for their death.

It's better than nothing though, but I no fit oo.

Buhari's government encouraging the soldiers. Dasuki and co shared the money that was meant to buy arms to face the BH..Dasuki e no fit better for you and your clique i swear.
