The Nigerian government has commenced the implementation of security reform recommendations.
Defence Minister, Bashir Magashi assured citizens of a rejuvenated and repositioned military.
The retired General spoke at the Ministry of Defence headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
Magashi inaugurated a 24-member committee to administer recommendations of the Reform Committee for the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
The report was submitted in April. Major General Alwali Jauji Kazir (rtd) chairs the committee to effect 7-point terms of reference.
