The Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa (retd.), has proposed that every Nigerian should undergo military training to better understand the demands and sacrifices involved in protecting the country. He made the proposal on the African Leadership Podcast with Ken Giami, released on Monday. According to him, military training exposes people to hunger, exhaustion, physical strain and other hardships that can give them a different understanding of life and the responsibilities of protecting the nation. He said such training would show Nigerians what endurance means and give them a different perspective on life.
