Former spokesman for the Nigerian Air Force, Group Captain Sadeeq Shehu (retd.) has said that it is abnormal for the military to retire over 100 Major Generals from the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
It could be recalled that over 100 Generals in the army, comprising Major Generals, Brigadiers General, and some Colonels were recently told to proceed on retirement by the military authorities.
Reacting to the development, Shehu said that the large number of Generals has led to difficulties in appointing service chiefs.
The former Air Force spokesman said this on Friday when he appeared as a guest on Arise TV from Kaduna.
He lamented that the country was wasting its resources by training a large number of Generals and later relieving them of their duties.
