As economic realities continue to redefine retirement and post service opportunities, the Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC), Oshodi, Lagos, is equipping military officers with entrepreneurial and management skills aimed at preparing them for productive life beyond the uniform. Chiemelie Ezeobi reports that the recent inauguration of the Senior and Mid Level Officers’ Entrepreneurship and Management Course 18/2026, highlighted the growing importance of innovation, leadership and business education in helping officers transition successfully into civilian life
For many military officers, retirement from active service often comes with difficult questions about transition, relevance, financial stability and life beyond the barracks.
While years in uniform build discipline, courage and leadership, adapting to the civilian business environment can sometimes prove challenging without deliberate preparation.
It is against this backdrop that the Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC), Oshodi, Lagos, continues to position itself as a bridge between military service and post service productivity through entrepreneurship and management training.
That vision came into sharper focus during the inauguration ceremony of the Senior and Mid Level Officers’ Entrepreneurship and Management Course 18/2026 held at the NAFRC Resource Centre Auditorium.
