Christopher Musa, the chief of defence staff
Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff (CDS), says retired military officers should be brought into government given their wealth of experience.
Musa said this on Thursday in Kaduna, after the pulling out dinner organised by the infantry corps in honour of retired infant generals.
He said most retired generals and ex-army personnel still have a lot to offer Nigeria.
He added that bringing them into government would be a win-win situation.

“The nation has spent so much in training them, such vast knowledge should not just go like that,” NAN quoted Musa as saying.
“We want these top military men to continue to contribute their quota to the development of the nation.”
The CDS pointed out that some retired generals served the Nigerian Army for as many as 35 years, with others serving for even longer.

“They are still strong, capable and ready. We need them to contribute so much to the nation,” he added.
