"Nigerian Army Needs N526 Billion" - COAS, Tukur Buratai by IlajeGal1: 6:37am On Feb 11, 2016 |
The Chief of Army Staff(COAS), Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has said the Nigerian Army needs N520billion for a remarkable transformation. Buratai made this disclosure yesterday as he defended the Army's budget before the House Committee on Army.In his remarks, Buratai said: “The ministry of defence went below what we actually need minimally. This honourable House should assist to ensure that what we proposed is given to us. The significant drop is not from us but the Budget Office, but we will appreciate your efforts to make it up so that we can function well. If we can get N526 billion today, Nigerian Army will not be the same again. We will make sure that our barracks are rehabilitated and troops and their families taken care of.” Buratai also told the committee that the Army had deployed equipment to the North East where there is insurgency and the Niger Delta where there is renewed attacks on oil pipelines.He further said:“The controversies over the purchase of arms and ammunition or alleged purchase of inferior or substandard arms call for an urgent review of our processes. Indeed as several scholars, leaders and generals have repeatedly affirmed, war is too important to be left in the hands of generals. The world has moved on and in most democratic countries, representatives of the people, the parliament is involved in the details of implementation of budgets and procurement processes.” http://dawntodusknews.com/nigerian-army-needs-n526-billion-coas-tukur-buratai/ |

If they will wipe boko haram and stop the killing of protesters by using the said amount judiciously , I support government allocating a reasonable amount for the military. |
