It would be recalled that the Federal Executive Council recently announced the withdrawal of the exemption of payment of tickets by some highly placed Nigerians at the nation’s airports. Moving the motion, Dasuki said members of the Armed Forces should be honoured by not being made to pay tolls at the airports and major train stations.
“Men and women of the Armed Forces honour our nation with the highest form of service and without reservation; keeping us safe from harm, protecting our wealth and territorial integrity, ensuring safe navigation on our territorial waters, protecting our borders including the Gulf of Guinea, Creeks, Sahara Desert and forests, and fighting armed bandits who invade our communities,” he said. The lawmaker stated further that the government must be intentional in giving the Armed Forces privileges.
