Jun 4, 2020
Bashir Magashi, minister of defence, says indequate manpower and funding are shortcomings affecting the productivity of the armed forces.
Magashi, who spoke with journalists, said this was part of the ministry’s presentation at the virtual federal executive council meeting which was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday.
“We spoke about our shortcomings. We talked about manpower shortage, inadequate funding for the ministry of defence,” he said.
“We talked about all the operations we have been conducting, the successes and failures of each of the operations right from operation Lafia Dole to operation Tawase.
“The shortcomings of each of the operations were discussed and, God so kind, contributions were made by members of the council and I think in no distant time there will be a change in the conduct of our affairs in the ministry of defence.”
Speaking on the Ogoni clean-up, Mohammad Abubakar, the minister of environment, said the ministry is currently cleaning up 36 sites impacted with hydrocarbon in order to rid it of wastes.
