According to Punch,
Nigeria pays the troops from Chad and Niger N146.25 million as pocket
money and feeding allowances. The amount however does not include money
for fueling of the operational vehicles of the foreign troops and other
logistics.
The report further states that “a
breakdown of the N146.25 million shows that the 2,500 troops contributed
by Chad receive N112.5 million monthly while the 750 soldiers from
Niger get N33.75 million. Thus each of the soldiers from the two
countries gets N45,000 monthly as pocket and feeding allowances, the
same amounts paid their Nigerian counterparts.”
