NBA-AGC Sessions: (2) Military Business

Ever wondered what the business of the Military is, apart from
safeguarding lives and property? A revealing insight into the
confluence of military inventions and their civilian applications
as a tool for economic growth will help Conferees understand the
place of the Nigerian Military better.

The roles of a country’s armed forces are entrenched in her
Constitution. The defence of the territorial integrity and other
core interests of the nation form the major substance of such
roles. Section 217-220 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As amended) addresses the role of the
Nigeria’s military systems.

The fact that military systems often involve a
political-strategic dimension further portrays the complexity of
the field, which is strengthened by the scarcity and opacity of
information on defense and the military industries. Military
spending constitutes a very peculiar category of public expenditure
mostly because defense is generally regarded in the economic
literature as the state’s sovereign function par excellence.

Generally speaking, most lawyers don’t know where they come in
or stand on the bridge between military and civilian economic tools
and how to navigate through the mist. Mostly is the problem of
enlightenment on the dynamics of the business and economics of the
military.

The 21st century lawyer has such a huge advantage in service
delivery and has every chance to start something new to set self
apart and Military Law is not exempt.

Join the impressive panel of the Chief of Army Staff,
Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai, the Inspector General of Police
(IGP), Ibrahim Kpotun Idris, NPM, mni and Air Vice Marshal
Onyemaechi Osahor, Prof. W. W. Soboyejo and G. C.  Muyiwa
Akinwale in this outstanding session.
