Yes a soldier can resign if you have a genuine reason to do so. And again if you have served the required number of years and don't want to Wait for the military to retired you, you can apply and leave and you will be collecting your pension. So you can resign at any point in time. 2 Likes |

Lovintus2: You can only resign on health grounds or after 15 years of service (this would only be considered for strong reasons). If you leave forcefully, you'll be tagged a deserter a crime punishable by death. |

Let me share the little insight I have on this topic as told by someone who attended the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA). As a military trainee studying in the NDA, the Nigerian government bears the entire cost of your study and training as well as feeding and other sundry expenses throughout the duration of your stay. Aside the training cost, you are also paid some allowance during the NDA period. I'm not sure right now if the allowance is monthly or quarterly, but it's periodic and I understand it is substantial. Your parents/guardian/sponsor can choose not to spend a dime on you for the duration of the training. (Dude even said he could afford to send money from his allowance to his siblings in other schools). After the huge investment on you by the government, it is expected you give back to the Nigerian state through your military service. So back to your question, you are not allowed to resign unless the conditions below are true: 1) You've given a reasonable length of military service, which is quite lengthy. This can come in form of retirement. 2) Deformity (often caused during combat) which can prevent you from effective discharge of your duty as a military officer 3) Serious health reasons which could be mental, psychological, physical etc, but this has to be proven. 4) You can also be allowed to resign on compassionate grounds, but the reason has to be very compelling to your superiors for them to grant your request for approval. There may be other reasons, but quitting without approval is not taken lightly by the military, you'll be treated as a deserter and this may attracts grave/serious consequences. GM. 3 Likes |

Terms of enlistment (1) The term for which a person enlisting in the Armed Forces may be enlisted shall be such a term beginning with the date of his attestation, as is mentioned in subsections (2) and (3) of this section. (2) Where the person enlisting has apparently attained the age of eighteen years, the term of enlistment shall, as may be prescribed, not exceed twelve years, and be classed- (a) as a term of regular service; or (b) as to a prescribed part, a term of regular service and as to the remaining part, a term in the Armed Forces Reserve. (3) Where the person enlisting has not apparently attained the age of eighteen years, the term shall be a term ending with the expiration of such period not exceeding twelve years as may be prescribed beginning with the date on which he attained that age, and be classed- (a) as a term of regular service; or (b) as to a prescribed part, a term of regular service, and as to the remaining part, a term of service in the Armed Forces Reserve. 30.

(2) An enlisted person who has completed a period of eighteen years of regular service may, if he so desires and with the approval of the respective competent service authority, continue to serve to complete 22 years of regular service in all respects as if his term of regular service was still unexpired, provided that- (a) he claims his discharge at the expiration of three months after he has given notice to his commanding officer of his wish to be discharged; and (b) his commanding officer may give him three months' notice of intention to discharge him. (3) An enlisted person who has completed a period of 22 years of regular service may, if he so desires and with the approval of the respective competent service authority, continue to serve in all respects as if his term of regular service was still unexpired. 1 Like |
