The Nigerian Army has dismissed as inaccurate reports circulating on various social media outlets that suggest a widespread resignation of its soldiers due to issues related to corruption and diminishing morale.
According to a statement released by Major General Onyema Nwanchukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, this publication is not only deceptive but also appears to be a calculated effort to sow discord and animosity within the ranks of the Army.
It is crucial to understand that the Nigerian Army, similar to many military forces around the globe, operates on a voluntary basis rather than through conscription. Consequently, personnel within the organization possess the freedom to choose to disengage whenever they wish. Additionally, the statement emphasizes that the officers are considerably motivated, with their welfare being of utmost importance under the guidance of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja.
