The Nigerian Army has announced the removal of Barrister Nathan Oguwike as the Company Secretary of Post-Service Housing Development Limited (PHDL).
The decision takes immediate effect from Thursday, 23rd April 2026.
Politics Nigeria reports that the development was made public in an official notice issued by the spokesperson of PHDL, Lieutenant Augustine Nkeonye.
The statement clarified the Army’s position on Oguwike’s current status and warned the public against dealing with him in any official capacity relating to the organisation.
According to the notice, “This is to notify the general public that Nathan Oguwike, Esq., former company secretary of Post-Service Housing Development Limited (PHDL), has ceased to hold that position effective 23 April 2026 and is no longer in the service of the company.
“The individual is not authorized to represent or bind PHDL in any manner. PHDL accepts no liability for any actions or representations made by the individual subsequent to the cessation of his appointment.”
The Army stressed that Oguwike no longer has any authority to act on behalf of the housing firm. It urged members of the public, stakeholders, and partners to take note of the change and avoid any dealings with him regarding the company’s affairs.
No reason was given for his removal. The statement did not indicate whether the decision was due to administrative, disciplinary, or other internal matters. This has left room for speculation, although the Army has maintained silence on the circumstances surrounding the development.
Post-Service Housing Development Limited is a key initiative of the Nigerian Army. It was set up to provide affordable housing solutions for both serving personnel and retired soldiers. The scheme has been part of broader welfare efforts aimed at improving the living conditions of military personnel after active service.
The disclaimer issued alongside the announcement appears to be a precautionary move. It is intended to protect the organisation from any unauthorized commitments or representations that may arise after Oguwike’s exit.
Observers note that such public disclaimers are usually issued to prevent legal or financial complications. It also helps to clearly define responsibility, especially in cases where former officials may still be perceived to hold office.
As of the time of filing this report, no replacement has been announced for the position of Company Secretary. It is unclear who will take over the role or whether an acting officer has been appointed.
