Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja, says the Nigerian Army will stop at nothing to neutralize terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal elements creating challenges of insecurity in the country.
He enjoined Commanders at all levels to always be ingenious and courageous, saying the adversaries they fight are emboldened by weakness as they cannot afford to show a lot of it. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the COAS first quarter conference in Abuja, Lagbaja assured Nigerians of the Nigerian Army 's resolve to, in conjunction with their sister services and other security agencies, ensure the security of lives and properties across the country.
He assured that the COPP would provide further guidance to the standing committee by formulating appropriate orders and instructions, saying that the Military Secretary should note that the formation command appreciation and recognition plaque for senior officers does not qualify recipients for the Field Command Medal of Honour award and should thus not be cited as a basis for demanding such instituted honors and awards.
