Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, has restated the Nigerian Army\u2019s commitment and determination to ensure the total defeat of insurgents, marauding bandits, and all other forms of external and internal aggression disturbing the peace of the country.<\/p>\n

Lagbaja gave the assurance in his Easter message to troops of the Nigerian Army on Sunday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He charged all officers and soldiers to use the season to pray for continued operational successes and continue to espouse the values and virtues of love, peace, and sacrifice in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Lagbaja said he had ensured the implementation of quality training towards combating the myriads of security threats confronting the nation.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Nigerian army under his watch had continued to record tremendous successes in various operations at home and abroad, especially in the ongoing Operation Hadin Kai in the North East and other internal security operations nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to push towards the final onslaught on the adversaries troubling our nation, I assure you that the welfare of officers and soldiers, including training and provision of the needed equipment, will always be prioritised to enable us to discharge our constitutional responsibilities effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me use this opportunity to acknowledge and thank you, my officers and soldiers, for your doggedness in tackling the numerous security challenges bedevilling us as a nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have displayed much commitment, courage, resilience, and professionalism. For this, I say well done and charge you not to rest on your oars until we have eliminated all forms of threat to our country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile still grieving the recent unwarranted and gruesome murder of our colleagues in Okuama community of Delta, which occurred on March 14, I urge you all to remain steadfast, diligent, and committed to the discharge of our constitutional responsibilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
