Uproar as wife of Chief of Defence Staff lands 'juicy' deal of over N23m with government agency

The Wife of Chief of Defence Staff, Victoria Irabor has sparked reaction from Nigerians following her recent appointment at the Security Printing and Minting PLC.

The Security Printing and Minting PLC is a government agency that is solely responsible for the Nigerian banknote printer and mint, coins and print stamps.

It is said to be located in both the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and Lagos state.

Victoria Irabor who is known as the President for Defence & Police Officers Wives Association (DEPOWA) has been speculated to have gotten a juicy deal which earns her a total annual package of N23,525,238.58.

As documents of her appointments hit the internet, several Nigerians accuse her husband, the Chief Of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor of using his influence to get his wife the deal.

While others lament over the juicy offer, some congratulate her on her appointment as they believe it is well deserved following her outstanding qualifications.

When you say used his influence are you saying she isn’t qualified for the job? Because if you are, you're grossly wrong.

Barr. Victoria Irabor’s appointment is 100% based on qualification. She has a 3rd masters in conflict, security, and development from the Nigerian defense academia, even the document reads transferred, she is switching service from a relevant office to this.

This woman is an achiever and this book proves how inspiring she really is. Do you know she is also one of the few women in Nigeria with a triple masters degree. Without doubt, her recent appointment as the director of legal services of the Nigerian security printing and minting…

Barr. Victoria Irabor introduced PTSD handling schemes to Military men when she was DEPOWA President, for that alone she is more than qualified to serve.
