The immediate past Chief of Army
Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, has blamed Nigeria’s porous borders for the
insurgency in the North-East. Ihejirika said this during his Valedictory Speech
at a parade in his honour to mark his exit from the Nigerian Army.
He affirmed that that the world is
passing through an increasingly volatile and uncertain 21st century and our
situation in Nigeria had been made complex by regional and transnational
threat.
This is further accelerated by
information technology, desertification, and international migration
across the borders, and competition for scarce resources, weapon proliferation
and several unresolved ethno-religious conflicts.
The former chief of Army Staff emphasized
that the army have deployed its officers extensively at home and abroad along
with other services, adding that he is proud to be part of Nigeria’s quest for
a more peaceful world through many interactions using different platforms.”
