According to him, we will continue to be committed and responsive in discharging our constitutional roles in line with the command philosophy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja.
which he said is to transform the Nigerian Army into a well-trained, equipped, and highly motivated force towards achieving our constitutional responsibility within a joint environment.
He commands the Chief of Army Staff and the Theatre Commander, Operation Hadin Kai, for their commitment, support, and provision of our needs in the conduct of our counter-insurgency operation.
“We pledge to make necessary sacrifices for the betterment of our country and the citizens of the north-eastern states, especially Borno and Yobe. He said.
