This is a continuation of that line of thought<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the face of unrelenting insecurity, it is striking that Nigeria, a country battling insurgency, terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and communal violence for over 15 years, lacks a seasoned, senior-level military or police officer in its cabinet or high-level national security leadership. Mr President and the relevant ministers have no security\/military\/police \/intelligence backgrounds. There are also only two senior retired military officers in the Legislature. In short, no senior government official with the relevant professional background, expertise and capacity to firmly handle the security agencies or give Mr President independent knowledge\/experience driven advice with which to compare what the security heads are telling him. At such a time of heightened security challenges, this is not just a symbolic omission. It is a strategic gap with real consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With respect, Ok yes, there is currently a retired police officer serving as National Security Adviser (NSA), but objectively speaking, and by all credible accounts, he does not bring the deep operational credentials or extensive field leadership experience expected of a seasoned, senior-level security expert. In a time of national security emergency, this distinction matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Case for Experience-Driven Leadership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security threats in Nigeria are not hypothetical. They are daily, complex, and multidimensional. From Boko Haram and ISWAP in the Northeast, to banditry in the Northwest, secessionist tensions in the Southeast, and kidnapping across all regions, Nigeria\u2019s security terrain demands not just political leadership but operational expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retired senior officers with real command experience bring more than stories from the battlefield. They carry with them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 A deep understanding of the security architecture and its dysfunctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Institutional memory about what has worked, what has failed, and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Strategic thinking honed under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Credibility and respect within the ranks of serving officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Knowledge driven oversight of the military services and the service chiefs without being deceived with technical jargon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are not attributes that can be learned from think tanks or in briefings. They come from leading men and women in uniform through fog-of-war realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global Precedents<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around the world, countries facing intense security threats have routinely turned to retired but experienced military or police leaders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The United States appointed retired General James Mattis as Secretary of Defence. It has been so ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Israel\u2019s security strategy has long drawn from former Generals and Intelligence chiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 South Africa has used ex-military figures to spearhead reforms and stabilize internal security post-apartheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are not gestures of nostalgia. They are pragmatic choices to ensure that those shaping policy understand the operational landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nigeria\u2019s Unique Imperative<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nigeria is a country at war within its borders. In such circumstances, having a seasoned, senior-level security figure advising or leading the national response is not militarization of government\u2014it is rational governance. This does not mean sidelining civilian oversight. On the contrary, it means strengthening it with informed, field-tested judgment. It also does not suggest that only uniformed men can secure the country. But in the heat of multidimensional conflict, experience matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Risk of Exclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By keeping seasoned veterans out of the room where decisions are made eg (Federal Executive Council) , we risk policies that sound good on paper but fall apart in execution. We risk further disconnect between government intentions and frontline realities. Most importantly, we waste the opportunity to align strategy with ground truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Call to Course-Correct<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is time for Nigeria to correct this gap. Appointing a truly seasoned, senior-level retired officer to a cabinet or equivalent national security position would send a message of seriousness. More than that, it would inject informed pragmatism into a space where too much theory and too little field knowledge has prevailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not a call for martial government. It is a call for mature government \u2013 one that knows when to lean on expertise forged not just in classrooms or courtrooms, but in the crucible of national defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a moment of protracted crisis, experience is not a luxury. It is a necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should Mr President consider this option however, there are certain risks to consider :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Legacy Mindsets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Retired officers may carry outdated tactics or doctrinal rigidity, which can inhibit reform or adaptation to modern threats like cybercrime or climate-linked insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Overemphasis on Kinetic Solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Risk of reinforcing militarized approaches at the expense of non-violent, intelligence-led, or socio-political interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Political Capture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Retired officers may be co-opted into partisan politics, eroding their objectivity and public trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 This could also compromise the apolitical image of the military or police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Civil-Military Power Balance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 There is a fine line between informed advisory and undue security influence over civilian governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Strong checks and balances must be in place to prevent overreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, it must be said, while most Nigerian Generals are top quality, not all retired military Generals are automatically quality, thus the selection and appointment of such a person must be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Merit-based, not based on loyalty or networks or the usual ethnic\/religious\/regional considerations. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Balanced with civilian voices in governance, justice, intelligence, and peacebuilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Focused on reform, coordination, and foresight, not just operations and firepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CONCLUSION: Is such an injection desirable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes \u2013 cautiously and strategically. Given Nigeria\u2019s intractable, multi-dimensional security crisis, it is both logical and desirable to include retired, apolitical, and seasoned military or police officers in senior cabinet or advisory roles. Their experience can add depth, realism, and credibility to security policymaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Group Captain Sadeeq Garba Shehu (rtd) is a Security Sector
