ABUJA-President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday recalled with nostalgia his days in the Nigerian Army, saying that they were characterized by war, coups and counter-coups. He said that as a young military officer, there was no time for academic pursuits.

He therefore commended the leadership of the present Nigerian military for the intellectual transformation of the officer corps.

The president who spoke at a ceremony for the decoration of two senior officers, Air- Vice Marshal Sadiq Ismaila Kaita, the Commander of the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF) and Colonel Mohammed Lawal Abubakar, his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), working closely with him at the State House said that modern armies required superiority of intellect and imagination to achieve victory in warfare.

He expressed happiness that newly-promoted officers had acquired a “dazzling array of university degrees”

The president however, urged all officers to ensuree the translation of academic achievements to performance in the field and other places of assignment.

“I am happy with the intellectual approach of the military. In our time, there was no time for academic pursuit. It was all about war, coups and counter-coups,” he noted.

President Buhari said in times of peace and stability, military officers should use such opportunity to pursue their intellectual transformation which should go side-by-side with hardware transformation of modern armies.

The President urged officers to read History, irrespective of their academic backgrounds, describing it as an important pre-requisite for strategic learning and success in the military.

He emphasized that the good quality of the officer corps of the Nigerian Military called for good performance.

President Buhari congratulated both officers on their various achievements in their services and urged them to always be mindful of the welfare of those placed under their command.

Both Air Vice-Marshal Kaita and Colonel Abubakar have, prior to their current assignments, served the country in peace-keeping missions abroad and are married with families.

FTC oooo



lala where is my bonus ooo



back to bubu he now decided to did a coup on our economy


kwantinu

Buhari the dullard keep quiet and fix the Economy

Even after he left, he was still occupied with cattle coups and rustling wars, he still had no time for intellectual pursuits and so of course, university degrees would be dazzling to him!

Because he signed $2.1 for campaign and instructed Denziani to thief $20B

mykeljosef:
n now u did a coup on our economy

Buhari is always dwelling on psst time paradise., spending most of his tenure leaving in past time paradise.

No time for academic pursuit in ur military days, buhari left power since 1985 so he is saying even after he left power there was no time to engage himself academically because he was planning a counter coup or was engaged in war. I don't understand

This man doesn't have shame ooh if this is the best excuse he could come up with, so what stopped you afterwards? There was coup and war going on inside your head abi?

PMB: Always giving excuses.

Useless man.

The import of this statement is sadder than it is funny

Ladies and gentlemen very soon the truth will surface

#BUHARIHASNOCERTIFICATE

Busy with fighting wath I don't know and we're all dying gradually

And he was part of the coup
I guess he is using the medium to tell us why he is such an incompetent president.

NKITA MAZI CHINAKWE! Now it's dominated by Hunger, suffering, bloodbath, dry bones(this one na your favorite).

CONGRATULATIONS OFFICERS

That's not an excuse for the backwardness of Nigerian Army. US Army pursue education more during war time, having specialized arm for research and technology.

For nigeria, na to stand for road dey do police boy boy job
