So how were they operating before? Does he understand that
Nigeria Defense Hq = Pentagon and
Minster of Defence (Nigeria) = US Defence Secretary

or are we missing something here?


Islie:
The permanent secretary said when created, the new defence ministry would see the various services operating under the same roof in a ‘Pentagon-like’ style, where both military and civilian staff would be working together.

Buhari is always kicking against any idea to tackle insurgency with full force
Re: Nigerian Govt Mulls Creation Of New Ministry Of Defence by Nobody: 11:28am On Apr 28, 2022
The present ministry right from inception has a mix of military and civilians working together with the Civilian Personnel Units (CPUs) responsible for all civilian staff. Say something else related to looting and leave the pentagon out of it please. Ndi Oshi.

Throughout PDPs tenure ASUU went on strike a record 14 times. Almost every year during the PDPs 16yr rule.

They have only gone on strike 4 times during APCs 8yrs but somehow APC is the problem of your confused soul

Waste of public funds. Why not settle varsity lecturers?
Oil money to create employment in northern Nigeria. Southerners migrate to the north to be employed.

Military and Civilian can never work together

Not in Nigeria

There must be reports where Military Will beat up Civilians

Exactly my thoughts.

Creating ministry to be occupied by the quotta system northerners that are not qualify to head even a village meeting would be a another of resources!

It's just like changing a school uniform with same teacher!

What a confused administration!
Re: Nigerian Govt Mulls Creation Of New Ministry Of Defence by Spidermon: 12:29pm On Apr 28, 2022
Do they mean that there are no civilians currently working in the defence ministry?

Presently, the 3 branches of the Armed forces have their separate HQ buildings in Abuja, and the civilian workers are largely based at the Ministry of Defense building.
But what the perm sec is saying is that he wants ALL branch headquarters to be under one roof, and for the civilian workers to be under the same roof as well, like the Pentagon in the US.

Thank you, in fact to be more precise, what's the work of the office the Chief of Defence Staff.

Trying to copy another countries model is certainly problematic at this junction because I can guess that the US might be making adjustments to its systems and institutions already.
Why not create a democratic system that represents present Nigeria difficulties that is also well balanced by an independent judiciary and parliament while also looking at each state's independence on economic and revitalising each according to its resources, self policing and as well as a Ministry of homeland security to tackle internal conflicts, insurgency, terrorist attacks on Nigeria soil according to each state's need.
Existing models are meant to be developed upon to create a new suitable working system.
I support a Nigeria that doesn't negotiate with insecurity and that respect the rights of all.

God bless Nigeria!

These people need smart engineers, but they won't do that, the newly created Niger delta ministry is filled up with asection of certain people from a part of the country.

My thoughts too but the topic is saying New Ministry of Defence as if the old Ministry of Defence would be scrapped or something cheesy

It’s probably an error from the reporter cos it’s makes no sense to create a “new” ministry of defense

So because ASU went on strike during PDP era more than they are doing during APc rule makes it a good thing?

The way you lot reason sometimes I wonder what is wrong .


We are talking about making our leaders provide more services to the masses and you talking about party politics .

You talk like ASUU strikes began in 2015. The way you reason needs to be looked into critically.

PDP had 16yrs to get it right regarding ASUU but they failed woefully at this and eventually left it for APC to inherit and so far APC has been able to seriously cut down on the number of strikes and this shows they are doing something very right and are working towards a lasting solution.

However your brain could not appreciate this and thus you focused in on APC as if you were born in 2015
