With the May 1999 elections, Nigeria returned to democratic rule, resulting in numerous reforms across all sectors of national life. In conformity with the tenets of democracy and in line with the resultant national reform processes, the Nigerian Army is striving towards improved professionalism in the actualization of its constitutional mandate. In order to achieve this goal, the then Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen TY Buratai (rtd) provided several platforms for personnel professional improvement including the establishment of the Nigerian Army Resources Centre (NARC) on 20 November 2015. This is in line with his vision for the Nigerian Army which is To have a professionally responsive NA in the discharge of its constitutional roles.
