The military is re-assessing its operational engagement on a daily basis to improve the security of the country, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor, has said.
Irabor said this this during a meeting with retired senior military officers from the Southwest to discuss ways out of the current security challenges in the country at the Headquarters of 2 Division Nigerian Army, Ibadan, on Thursday
He said the meeting was to tap from the wealth of experience and knowledge of the retired officers and other stakeholders, and urged the participants to be sincere, forthcoming and open during the meeting, urging them to be committed to the unity, peace and progress of the country.
“Whatever experience and solutions gathered from the meeting will help in tackling various security challenges in Nigeria,” the CDS said.
“With your wealth of experience and knowledge acquired over the years, we believe there is no better cross-section of Nigerians that should better be engaged than you.
“You are most qualified and knowledgeable on issues of security and because of this, we have brought you here. You know there are security issues in your neighbourhood.”
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division, Maj-General Gold Chibuisi, said the participants had a critical role to play in assisting the nation to tackle the security challenges in Southwest and the country as a whole.
