A Nation is Born, Australia welcomes the Federal Republic of Nigeria
February 7,2024 | An editorial by Roger Peterson
More than 755k people flocked to Port Harcourt to celebrate
the creation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
PORT HARCOURT - After almost 6 years of being a protectorate of Australia since the end of the Second Nigerian Civil War, the time has finally come for The Australian Controlled Territory of Nigeria, popularly known by the abbreviation T.A.C.T., to become part of the new Federal Republic of Nigeria, a union of the protectorates and areas of responsibility of the French PSAN and the TACT.
The TACT has come a long way since the closing moments of the civil war. From a land ruined by bombings, genocides, and famine, the TACT boomed, under Australian supervision and investments, into a prosperous territory, with new infrastructure, broader government services, plentiful harvests, and a renewed sense of security and harmony.
Through Australian supervision, former ruined cities such as Warri, Onitsha, and Benin became hubs for business and retailing, centers for education and entertainment as well as iconic landmarks and tourist destinations. Others such as Port Harcourt now facilitate trade with other countries as huge numbers of container ships and oil tankers stopover in the newly renovated ports and shipyards by TransGen Inc. Under the TACT's own provisional government, rural areas were given significant attention. Farm-to-market roads were constructed, health clinics were constructed, renewable electrical sources were distributed with the help of Helios III.
The Australian Army, Navy and Air Force did not go idle while stationed in the TACT for the past 6 years. In the early months of the creation of the TACT when humanitarian workers and local workers were held at bay due to security concerns, it was the soldiers, sailors, air personnel that worked part-time as construction workers, teachers, doctors, pastors,instructors and service workers while the TACT recovered from the chaos of war. Australian soldiers were tasked to show the fearful Nigerian people that the Australian administration was making them getting back their country to its feet the number one priority.
Security in the TACT was a huge priority of the Australian government and then the TACT's own provisional government. At best, Australia maintained a huge military presence in TACT as a deterrent. However, the Australian military soon launched several military and police training courses across the country in an effort to organize a new security force for the TACT. These efforts resulted in the 500,000
Nigerian Civil Guard, which will soon be integrated into the new Federal Army, an all-volunteer force that would act as a police force, or a military force in times of conflict.
Ever since the PSAN and TACT were made, France and Australia had hoped to unite their areas. Those hopes now come in the form of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. That organization of the new state's government was heavily debated by French, Australian and Nigerian lawmakers. In the end, in order to affirm that every state in the new republic would have its equal share of voice in the national government without the bias of religion, race or state, a conservative parliamentary federal government was agreed upon. In order to solve the problem that the Christian majority South was being favored than the Muslim majority north, two co-capitals were created wherein the government will be able to reach out to every major region, be it in the north or south.
With the creation of a new state in Nigeria, the TACT is officially dissolved. Along with this, the Australian Army will be sending home about 70,000 military personnel from the 80,000 stationed in the country. That includes the veteran army units of the Nigerian Civil War: the 12th Mech. Inf. Division, 30th Mech. Battalion, 7th & 3rd Inf. Brigades, and 5th Battalion. About 13 of the 15 FOBs across the TACT will also be dismantled and replaced into military bases for the new Federal Army. Meanwhile, naval and air force assets will continue to operate in bases in Warri, Forcados and Port Harcourt.
