Senate Moves to Modernize Nigerian Military: Civilian Oversight and Legal Reforms in Focus


The Nigerian Senate has recently passed the Armed Forces (Repeal and Re‑enactment) Bill, 2025, which seeks to modernize military laws and increase civilian oversight. This move has sparked conversations across the country about the role of the military under democratic principles.

  1. Judicial Review of Military Tribunal Decisions

    • Convictions from military courts or courts-martial can now be challenged in civil courts, increasing accountability.

    • This ensures that decisions are fair and subject to civilian legal standards.

  2. Civilian Oversight & Command Clarification

    • Operational command is clearly vested in the Chief of Defence Staff, under the President, the Commander‑in‑Chief.

    • Strengthening civilian oversight ensures democratic accountability without compromising military operations.

  3. Ban on Underage Recruitment

    • The bill prohibits recruitment of anyone under 18 years old, aligning military practice with international standards and Nigeria’s Child Rights Act.

  4. Protection of Military Justice Integrity

    • Military legal officers can represent the Armed Forces in civil courts.

    • The bill criminalizes undue interference in court-martial proceedings.

What This Means

  • The bill does not make the military fully subject to civil rule.

  • Instead, it modernizes the Armed Forces Act, ensures transparency, and aligns military justice with democratic principles.

  • Civilian oversight and judicial review strengthen public trust while keeping the military operationally independent.
