In a startling announcement, Nigeria's Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, has revealed that the Nigerian Army is facing serious financial challenges and simply can't accommodate new recruits!
During a significant visit from the Senate Committee on Army to the Army Headquarters in Abuja, Oluyede was clear — the army is running low on funds and is stretched thin.
This news comes at a time when insecurity is on the rise and youth unemployment is hitting record levels. You’d think that bringing in more recruits would enhance security and create job opportunities, but the reality is quite the opposite.
Nigerians are now left wondering: How can a country struggling with band!try, terror!sm, k!dnapping and civil unrest not have the resources to bolster its military?
Where is all the money going? Is this yet another sign of poor leadership and misplaced priorities?
