He described their contributions to peace and stability in the North East as “highly commendable” and urged them to sustain the operational tempo.
He further reassured the troops of the COAS’ commitment to addressing operational challenges and improving logistics and combat capabilities to enhance the effectiveness of artillery support to Nigerian Army operations.
Highlights of the visit included operational briefings, commissioning of key projects, and morale-boosting engagements with officers and soldiers. The visit also served as a Yuletide morale booster, underscoring the CCA’s resolve to translate the COAS’ Command Philosophy into measurable operational outcomes.
