The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, has charged troops to remain professional in the discharge of their duties and to uphold the fundamental human rights enshrined in the United Nations Charter during operations.
The COAS gave the COAS the charge on while addressing frontline troops during his operational visit to 31 Brigade Area of Responsibility (AOR).
He commended the troops for their steadfastness, professionalism and diligence in managing the security situation within the Brigade’s AOR, which falls within Niger State.
According to a statement by Nigerian Army’s spokesperson, Colonel Apollonia Anele, the COAS assured the troops of improved welfare. He noted that he had been adequately briefed on their challenges, particularly regarding accommodation and other critical facilities aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of soldiers and their families.
“The COAS further charged the troops to remain firm, vigilant and decisive in dealing with terrorists operating in the general areas of Shiroro, Rijau, and other locations within the Brigade’s Area of Responsibility.
“He directed the construction and renovation of accommodation and other essential facilities to boost the morale and operational effectiveness of the troops and their families,” the statement said.
