The President of the 33rd Regular Course Association, Air Commodore Ibrahim Umar (rtd) and other members, have advised the Federal Government to consider erecting walls around the nation’s borders to safeguard the country from external aggression and checkmate illegal immigrants into the country.
They gave this advise at the association Annual General Meeting in Kaduna State.
Air Commodore Ibrahim Umar (rtd) also urged the government to engage ex-servicemen to overcome banditry, terrorism and kidnapping.
According to them, the nation’s Armed Forces is currently over stretched, hence the urgent need to bring back retired military officers who are willing and capable to assist in the training of younger officers and men.
In addition, they also demanded the recruitment of more officers and men into the Armed Forces in order to police some of the ungoverned spaces in the country and around the nation’s porous borders.
