Acting on President Muhammadu Buhari' s
instruction, the National Security Adviser, Mr Babagana Moguno, has set up a
committee to probe procurement of hardware and ammunitions, in the Armed
Forces from 2007 till date.
A statement by
the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina,
said the investigative committee's mandate was to identify
irregularities and make recommendations for streamlining the procurement
process in the Armed Forces.
Adesina said the committee would specifically investigate allegations of non-adherence to correct equipment procurement procedures and the exclusion of relevant logistics branches from arms procurement under past administrations, which, very often resulted in the acquisition of sub-standard and unserviceable equipment.
