Beyond Buratai’s visit: The COAS should be worried about the rate of reported desertions, low morale, ceaseless grumbling and protests as well as resignations by soldiers at the war front. HQNigerianArmy DefenceInfoNG NGRSenate HouseNGR
It was no doubt a well-meaning gesture designed to boost the morale of soldiers of the Nigerian Army who sustained varying degrees of injuries in the ongoing battle against the Boko Haram insurgency as well as banditry in the theatres of operation in the North East and North West, and are currently undergoing treatment.
From his address to the injured officers and men, the COAS did not appear to appreciate the seriousness of the situation confronting both the military and the country it is meant to protect by the persistence of the insurgency. In his words, “I am happy that you made the impact that several of our colleagues and indeed Nigerians are now living in peace though relative, but I assure you that it is much better now than it was five or four years ago”.
At the inception of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, it discovered the colossal fraud in the management of funds for military procurement with top military brass and politicians sharing over N2.1 billion meant to buy equipment and weapons for the military. Portions of these stolen funds have been recovered while funding for the military has steadily increased between 2015 and now. We thus think that tales of inadequate or poor quality weapons should by now be a thing of the past.
