EXCLUSIVE: Nigerian Army Orders Withdrawal Of 165 Personnel Studying Across Military Institutions, Affected Officers Seek Army Chief’s InterventionSoldiers and officers of the Nigerian Army who wish to further their study are usually allowed to do so, SaharaReporters understands.
Those affected are currently studying in the Nigerian Army School of Medical Sciences, Ojo; the Nigerian Army School of Finance and Administration, Apapa, Nigerian Army College of Education, Ilorin and Nigerian Army College of Environmental Science and Technology, Makurdi. This is happening as the army continues to suffer heavy casualties in its counter-insurgency operations that have seen hundreds of Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists also neutralised by gallant Nigerian troops.
“We preach dynamism and diversity in the army; yet we don't practise it. The fact that I’m of the Infantry Corps or the Armoured Corps should not be a reason for me as a personnel not to seek further knowledge in other fields of study in the army.
