MILITARY RETIREES SUPPORT ANTI- TERRORISM FIGHT
Retired military officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces have offered to lend their support to the fight against terrorism and other similar threats to national security. This was conveyed by a delegation of retired senior military officers led by Air Commodore Michael Ekwere (Rtd) during a courtesy visit to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh in his office.
The retired officers used the opportunity to congratulate the CDS on his appointment and subsequent elevation to the rank of a 4 Star General in the Nigerian Armed Forces and also gave a pat on the back to the security forces for the successes recorded in the fight against terror.
Air Commodore Ekwere emphasised that Nigeria had a rich repository of human resources waiting to be tapped. He likened his group to PAE America, a private outfit of mostly retired military personnel who are appointed to head logistics and administration departments while the military was allowed to concentrate on its core functions of fire and manoeuvre.
