Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Christopher Musa, has called on Commanders and troops of the Nigerian Army (NA) not to let the nation down in the ongoing efforts to quell emerging security challenges across the country.<\/p>\n

Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director Army Public Relations in a statement on Monday, noted that the Defence Chief gave the charge after he was briefed on operational engagements of troops in various theatres of operations in the country, at the Army Headquarters Operations Centre.<\/p>\n

Responding, the CDS commended the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, Principal Staff Officers, Field Commanders and troops for their dedication and sacrifice, adding that military service is a selfless service to humanity and must statutorily support civil authorities.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the CDS admonished Commanders at all levels to be focused, committed and professional in steering the affairs of their various commands to expedite the restoration of peace and stability in the country.<\/p>\n

He charged them to lead by example and provide result oriented leadership and mentorship to the junior leaders of the Nigerian Army.<\/p>\n

Musa urged the troops of the Nigerian Army to remain resilient and ensure jointness and inter-agency cooperation in the conduct of their operations to mitigate security challenges.<\/p>\n

He assured the troops of the support of the President, Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, just as he appreciated the President for his interventions in the Armed Forces of Nigeria, since his assumption of office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a task ahead and we cannot afford to let our country down. We have the support of Mr President and the nation at large\u201d, he further said<\/p>\n

He charged the troops to support the lead agency in the forthcoming elections and strictly adhere to the codes of conduct guiding troops\u2019 roles during polls.<\/p>\n
