Speaking on behalf of the newly promoted officers, Lieutenant Colonel Yahaya Mohammed expressed gratitude to God for preserving their lives to witness this significant milestone in their careers.<\/p>\n

He also applauded the COAS for their elevation and promised to carry out their responsibilities with renewed vigour and professionalism.<\/p>\n

The beneficiaries further extended their appreciation to the Commander for his support, guidance, mentorship, and for sharing his wealth of experience, which they described as instrumental to their professional growth.<\/p>\n

The senior officers decorated included Lieutenant Colonel Yahaya Mohammed, Lieutenant Colonel Ali Nasiru, Lieutenant Colonel Adeola Olaleye Adebayo, Lieutenant Colonel VS Aminu, and Wing Commander Domshak Titus Zakka.<\/p>\n

They were elevated from the ranks of Major and Squadron Leader to Lieutenant Colonel and Wing Commander, respectively.<\/p>\n
