The Commandant of the National Defence College, Rear Admiral Samuel Alade, has asked retired military officers in Nigeria, who have benefited from several national and international training while in service to proffer solutions to the nation’s current security challenges.

Mr Alade made the call at the 27th regular course meeting with retired and serving officers in Abuja on Sunday.

According to him, the retired officers have benefited much from the country that ‘they cannot stand aloof and watch only their colleagues who are still in service to battle the problem of insecurity’.

“Our country today is facing security, economic and social challenges. As great patriots that we are, it is our responsibility to proffer necessary solutions to the challenges.

“I admonish all of us to continue to assuage the feelings of the families of our deceased colleagues to keep their hopes alive,”  Rear Admiral Alade stressed.

A representative of the retired officers at the event, urged the military to be united in purpose until the country is completely rid of terrorists.
