“Nigeria is proud of them. We are all proud of them across the country.
“I urge them to sustain the tempo in discharging their professional responsibilities.
“I assure them Mr President is much behind them and he is doing everything to ensure their welfare is improved in the field as well as in the barracks.

“I am impressed with the level of recuperation of the wounded in action soldiers in hospital”.

“I am here also at the Command Engineering Depot to see the progress of the production of Ezeugwu Emerald vehicles and I am quite impressed with the level of work, the commitment of the commander and his team of engineers.
“ Am sure this is change for the better for the Nigerian Army and the Armed Force’’, he said.
