The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General, Olufemi Oluyede, has issued a warning to criminals to pack out of the country, reiterating that the Nigerian Army under his administration is coming with full force.
The COAS explained this while addressing the troops of the 1 Division Nigerian Army in Kaduna when he paid a maiden operational visit on Wednesday.
He said the adversaries should be ready to face a more serious and formidable Nigerian Army.
Oluyede disclosed that as of December 10, he signed his command philosophy, which was hinged on leadership, sound administration, and professionalism.
The COAS said that in the same command philosophy, he made it clear that soldiers would be his priority in every area.
He, therefore, said the welfare of soldiers would encourage them to give their best to the course of ridding the country of criminals.
He further added that, “I will try as much as possible to enhance their welfare in terms of accommodation, kitting, and training so that they can be better soldiers”.
Oluyede urged the soldiers at the front line to be resilient, disclosing that the Army would employ new strategies to make things better in the field by approaching operations from a different perspective.
NAN reports that the COAS inaugurated the remodeled Stallion Officers’ Mess at the division’s Headquarters.
He also inaugurated two blocks of a 30 family’s accommodation at the Kotoko Barracks, Ribadu Cantonment.
