The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Mayirenso Lander David Saraso has charged newly promoted officers to remain loyal, disciplined, dedicated to their duties and responsibilities as their actions and inactions going forward will be documented and treated appropriately as Captains and Majors. He made these remarks during the investiture ceremony of newly promoted officers of 1 Division and Sector 1 Operation FASAN YAMMA at the Division Officers Mess (Annex) in Dalet Barracks Kawo, Kaduna State.
General Saraso congratulated the officers for the well-deserved elevation and thanked the Service Chiefs for considering the officers worthy to be promoted. He also charged the newly promoted officers to redouble their efforts so as to justify the confidence reposed in them by the promotion. He further emphasised the significance of their new responsibilities. “The journey in the Armed Forces is not about how far but how well you perform. Every step and action you take from this moment going forward will be appropriately documented. The beauty and pride of the Armed Forces of Nigeria are now in your hands and it is your duty to work the talk,” he said.
The newly promoted officers were Major YB Yerima of 1 Military Intelligence Brigade, Major AA Abdullahi of 1 Division Finance and Accounts and Major MB Mohammed of Command Secondary School Kaduna. Others are Captain BC Ewoo, Aide-de-Camp to the GOC and Sub Lieutenant IS Mamza, a Naval Officer serving at Headquarters Sector 1 Operation FANSAN YAMMA.
All the officers were elevated to their new ranks in recognition of their dedication, excellent performance, and achievements in the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Navy respectively.
In his vote of thanks on behalf of the newly promoted officers, Major YB Yerima who is the most senior among them expressed his gratitude to God Almighty for giving them and their families the privilege of being alive to witness the event. He also expressed his gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja and the Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral EI Ogalla for considering them for the promotion. He thanked the GOC for his leadership of the Division and for attending the event despite his very tight schedule. He then extended his appreciation to members of their families for their unwavering prayers and support and pleaded with them not to relent.
The event was well attended by officers and staff of the Division, just as family members and well-wishers of the newly promoted officers were not left out. Highlights of the events were words of advice from senior officers to the newly promoted officers and group photographs.

The Police Command in Katsina State says it has arrested a 25-year-old hunter, Bashir Bala, for allegedly shooting three civilians, leading to the death of one person in Malumfashi Local Government Area of the state.
Zagazola gathered that the incident occurred on Thursday at about 4:10 p.m. when Bala, a member of a hunters’ group attached to the security personnel in Malumfashi, visited a known blackspot at Marabar Kankara to purchase cannabis.
According to the report, an argument ensued during which Bala discharged his rifle, striking three civilians.
“One civilian was confirmed dead at the scene while two others sustained gunshot injuries. The injured victims were rushed to the General Hospital for medical attention while the deceased’s body was released to his family after medical certification.
“A joint team comprising Police, the Nigerian Army and vigilantes responded to the scene, and the suspect has been apprehended. Security measures within the area of responsibility have also been reinforced,” the sources said.

The encounter, which lasted for over two hours on Thursday, followed credible intelligence on the movement of criminal elements terrorising farming communities in the area. Security sources said the troops engaged the bandits, killing seven while the remaining suspects fled with gunshot injuries.
Four motorcycles used in their criminal activities were recovered during the operation.

Yobe records progress under Governor Buni—Hon. Usman Gimba
By: Yahaya Wakili
Yobe State, under His Excellency Governor, Hon. Dr. Mai Mala Buni CON, COMN, Chiroman Gujba, has recorded measurable progress in various sectors, viz., education, health, agriculture, and other social and economic empowerment initiatives in the state.
This was revealed by the Senior Special Assistant to His Excellency Dr. Mai Mala Buni CON COMN on youth and sports, Hon. Usman Gimba (Sarkin Adon Gubana), at the graduation ceremony of Shettiman Malamai School for Marriage Education in Potiskum.
He said under the governorship of my boss, His Excellency Mai Mala Buni CON, Yobe State is experiencing a giant transformation in the development of infrastructure, human capital, and agriculture.
According to Sarkin Adon Gubana, upon the inauguration of Governor Buni into office, he had set out to create an educated and a well-secured and empowered society with access to the education sector.
At the graduation ceremony, Hon. Gimba said, “What we need in the community is for all of us to be educated, including those who were in the school and those that are in the house, and this school consists of teaching those that are in the house.”
He maintained that the importance of sound and qualitative education to the growth and development of any human society needs not to be emphasized. Adding to that, the school consists of women, but wisely, we also need men; we need the education.
“Because this school is for marriage education only, but we men ourselves need it because we need to be educated on how we can handle our wives when we are married, he charged the students to make good use of what they learned from the school,” Sarkin Adon Gubana said.
The Senior Special Assistant on Youths and Sports thanks the CEO, Malam Abdurazak Abdullahi Usman, for making this gigantic initiative and calls on our leaders—traditional, politicians, and religious—to come out en masse to support the school to move forward.
