Ex-Army Leader Suggests Making Military Training Mandatory for Nigerians
Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika (retd.), a former Chief of Army Staff, has advocated for mandatory military training for all Nigerians, starting with the National Youth Service Corps. He claimed that doing this would help the country remain united, disciplined, and resilient in the face of escalating social and security issues. At the Nigerian Defense Academy Regular Course 18 Alumni Association's 50th anniversary celebration in Abuja on Friday night, Ihejirika made the call.
