The Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC) said it has concluded training for 114 military personnel already billed to retire from the service of the force. The Commandant of the Centre, Air Vice Marshal Moses Akinsanmi said of the 114, 50 were from the Nigerian Army, 53, from the Nigerian Navy while 11 came from the Nigerian Air Force.

He spoke while addressing journalists on the pass out parade for the centre, explaining that out of

the 114, one of the retiring trainee was withdrawn due to ill-health.

He also revealed that the NAFRC had constituted a governing board to help push its demands within government quarters.

AVM Akinsanmi said the governing board, which included the minister of defence as chairman and the service chief as members, provided for it the platform to present its matter before the service chiefs in single arena.

He said that until now the centre had been going individually to the service chiefs to make their demand known, adding that the board is beneficial to the centre as it will enable it to seek assistance collectives from the services.

AVM Akinsanmi also revealed that no fewer than 40, 000 military personnel had passed through its pre-retirement training programme since the centre was founded.

According to him, some personnel had acquired some skills during their service. These, he said, would only need reinforcement by the centre to add value to what they had learnt.
