President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday presided over the National Defense Council meeting, where he approved the new Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) for officers and enlisted personnel in the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The approval, which was disclosed by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Monday, signifies a major step towards improving the welfare of soldiers, ratings, and airmen across the nation.
