A number of retired army officers have been brought in to serve as consultants and instructors at the Nigerian Army School of Artillery (NASA), Kachia, Kaduna state.
This was disclosed on Friday, July 31, by Major-Gen. Lawrence Jokotola (rtd) at a pulling out parade organised for him and 32 other retired generals of Nigerian Army Corps of Artillery (NACA) at the Kalapanzi barracks, Vanguard reports.
“This will no doubt greatly ensure the sharing of knowledge and expertise between serving and retired officers of the Nigerian Army Corps of Artillery (NACA).
“There is no gainsaying that the challenges the military is currently facing are not unsurmountable if the old ideals of training, good administration and discipline address are extolled,” he said.
According to Jokotola, they all started the journey to serve their fatherland as young men and have now grown to become the retired generals they are.
“We were privileged to get the best education and training while in active service and these opportunities moulded all of us into responsible citizens that we are today,” he added.
He therefore urged his colleagues to rise to the occasion and do Nigeria proud by offering timely, accurate and effective support for the Nigerian Army.
Just recently, Major General Tukur Buratai, Chief of Army Staff, made many new appointments in the hierarchy of the Nigerian Army. He named new general officers commanding the divisions of the Nigerian Army as well as new principal staff officers to head the affairs of military headquarters.
