News: We lack financial capacity to fight Boko Haram -says Nigeria Army
The Nigerian Army said in Kaduna Wednesday that it lacks the financial capacity to cope with the challenges posed by Boko Haram and others in the country.
Chief of Accounts of the Nigerian Army, Major General Abdullahi Muriana, while speaking at the opening of the Nigerian Army Finance Corps Warrant Officers/ Non-Commissioned Officers training week in Jaji , said the budgetary allocation for the military is adequate to meet the contemporary security challenges and cater for the welfare of the force.
He also said that apart from the limitation of the “envelope system,”the Nigerian Army is enmeshed in the bureaucratic bottleneck in getting approval for funds needed for its operations and call for a review of the system.
“It is our humble appeal that government should evolve other means of funding and support for military operations other than the normal budgetary allocations. Such means include but are not limited to strategic cooperation and liaison with other civil industries for the production of uniforms and other equipment,” he stated.
He suggested the inclusion of a special operation fund in the budget for defence and place under the control of the Chief of Army Staff for immediate disbursement to the required operation areas.
