Who is General AO Ogomudia

By Nowa Omoigui

In response to the questions below:
1. Is General Ogomudia the best officer Nigeria has ever produced since he is the first to attain non- political rank of a full General?
2. Did he fight in the civil war and if so in what sector and under which command?
3. What is his background and professional record?

General Alexander Ogomudia is not the first to attain the rank of a full General in the Nigerian Armed Forces during a civilian regime. The first to do so was none other than the outgoing CDS, Navy Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi. An Admiral is a Four Star General. However, General Ogomudia is the first Army Officer to attain the rank of a full (four star) General in the Nigerian Army during a civilian regime.
