The leadership of the Nigerian military has ordered the compulsory retirement of all ‘disgruntled or unmotivated personnel’ in the army, navy and air force.
This was disclosed in a memo by the Defence Headquarters, according to PRNigeria.
The memo was signed by MB Nagenu, a Rear Admiral, on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff, Leo Irabor.
PRNigeria quotes the memo as stating that the disgruntled and unmotivated officers and soldiers no longer exhibit a high level of undivided loyalty, and the presence of mind required for military operations.
“In view of the above, deployments of such personnel do not benefit the Services and are in fact counter-productive.
“Consequently, on the identification of disgruntled or unmotivated personnel Services are advised to take steps to compulsorily discharge or retire such personnel in line with extant laws,” the memo states.
