How NAFRC is Reinventing Military Retirement to Reflect Modernisation

The recent graduation of 812 retiring military personnel at the Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC), Oshodi, Lagos, was more than a ceremonial farewell to military service as it showcased the centre’s ongoing efforts to prepare service members for life beyond the barracks through vocational training, entrepreneurship education and institutional reforms. Beyond this, Chiemelie Ezeobi writes that its quest to modernise retirement curriculum to include digital entrepreneurship, agribusiness, renewable energy and information technology, while also upgrading infrastructure and exploring new support programmes for military families, reflects a broader commitment to ensuring that personnel who have spent decades safeguarding the nation are equipped to remain productive and economically independent after leaving active service
