Army Chief felicitates troops, appreciates sacrifices
He added that the celebration also embodies courage, selfless service, discipline, integrity, respect for others, and loyalty, which he described as the core values of the NA. Gen Lagbaja urged the troops to leverage the spirituality of the occasion to pray for the NA, as it strives to combat security challenges in all theatre operations across the country.”
He said Lagbaja, noted that his appointment was a call to engender change and make a difference towards the fulfilment of the constitutional mandate of the Army in line with his Command philosophy, to transform the NA into a well-trained, equipped, and highly motivated force towards achieving our constitutional responsibilities within a joint environment.
“Gen. Lagbaja assured that he will provide the needed leadership and consolidate on prior achievements of the NA in ensuring that the current security distractions confronting the nation are decimated. He urged the troops to remain resolute, undaunted, disciplined, and patriotic in combating the adversaries of the country,” the statement added.
