The Nigerian Army has been lauded as one of the country’s most patriotic institutions. This commendation came from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the grand finale of the Army Day celebration held at Maxwell Khobe Cantonment, Rukuba Barracks, Plateau State.
In his address, President Tinubu praised the army’s dedication and achievements over the past year. He assured the officers and soldiers that the federal government is committed to improving their welfare and conditions of service.
The event, like previous Army Day celebrations, showcased the might of the Nigerian Army. A highlight was the performance by two paratroopers from the airborne unit, whose skills were reminiscent of a James Bond movie. Various other units, including K9s, also demonstrated their capabilities.
Earlier, Lt. Gen. Ta Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, in his welcome address, reassured Nigerians of the army’s readiness to defend the nation against all forms of aggression. He also pledged the army’s loyalty to civil authority.
A significant part of the ceremony was the presentation of awards to officers and soldiers who had distinguished themselves over the past year. Additionally, free houses were awarded to soldiers who were disabled in the line of duty, further highlighting the army’s commitment to supporting its personnel.
The event celebrated the bravery and dedication of the Nigerian Army, reinforcing its role as a key pillar in the nation’s defense and security.
