Chiemelie Ezeobi writes that the Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre, which is saddled with the task of integrating military retirees into civil life, recently churned out 343 retirees after intensive training on various entrepreneurial skills to ease their transition
For 35 meritorious years or less, 343 soldiers went through series of military trainings to ensure they turn out to be professional soldiers in their various units and fields. Throughout those years, they recited the soldiers creed, and were solely dedicated to the actualisation of the Armed Forces core responsibilities whatever the cost or odds.
But six months to their retirement, it was time to reformat their thinking process back to the civilian life they were used to before their sojourn into military life. Thus began their journey to the Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC), a centre established for military retirees to transition into civil life.
