The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, has issued a call to the soldiers serving in the 2nd Brigade of the Nigerian Army in the state of Akwa Ibom to uphold the high standards of loyalty and discipline for which the Nigerian Army is known.
This was said by the Army Chief on Saturday, October 14, during the inauguration of the 2 Brigade Headquarters Complex in Mbiokporo Cantonment, which is located in the state of Akwa Ibom.
Lagbaja, who was in the state for a familiarization tour of formations and units of the Nigerian Army, praised the officers for their tenacity in maintaining appropriate security in Akwa Ibom and told them that their issues and concerns will be handled in a relatively short amount of time. Lagbaja was in the state because he was on a familiarization tour of the formations and units of the Nigerian Army.
He reminded everyone that the federal government had issued directions for the payment of the backlog of their group life assurance, even to the families of deceased servicemen who had not received theirs while they were still living.
He also pushed the officers and troops to remain dedicated to their responsibilities and loyal to one another since he believed that this was the only way for them to adequately repay the government for the favors it had done for them.
He went on to reassure them that an agreement had been reached to construct living accommodations for them, which would allow them to bring their families with them.
His words: “We have awarded a contract, and within the next one or two weeks, contractors will begin building quarters in order to solve the problem of accommodation.” Other problems that you are experiencing will be fixed, such as inadequate personnel within the brigade, combat enablers, tools to operate with, additional vehicles, and their not being enough of them. We have made note of that, and I want to reassure you that it will be resolved; thus, the best course of action for you would be to continue being as dedicated and loyal as you have been up until now.
“The government has already issued directives that it should be paid for the backlog of group life assurance, and for the families of the deceased troops whose group life assurance has not been paid, their families will receive it. ” “For the backlog of group life assurance, the government has already given directives that it should be paid.
“The FG has promised to buy helicopters for us and so many interventions,” so continue to remain committed and loyal, since this is the manner of reciprocating the good gesture of the federal government. “The FG has promised to buy helicopters for us and so many interventions.”
