Former Chief of Defence Staff, retired Adm. Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim, has urged retired military personnel to remain active contributors to national development.
Ibrahim made the call at the 41st Anniversary Reunion Dinner of the 6th Regular Course Alumni Association of the Naval War College, on Saturday in Abuja.
He said that retirement from service should not mean retirement from serving Nigeria, adding that experience, knowledge and leadership acquired during military service remained invaluable to nation-building.
According to him, those virtues should be channeled into mentoring younger generations and strengthening national institutions.
“Retirement from active service does not mean retirement from national service. Our country still needs our wisdom, mentorship and counsel,” he said.
