The Chief of Defence Staff, Major Gen. Christopher Musa, says defeating insurgents, bandits, and terrorists in Nigeria would be difficult without adequate cooperation and regular interaction between commanders and their troops.
The CDS stated this during a book presentation as part of activities lined up to mark the 160th anniversary of the Nigerian Army, held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State.
He, therefore, charged all commanders in the Nigerian Army to always take the welfare of their men very seriously and engage them with words of encouragement as a panacea to the insecurity in the country.
Musa said, “My months at the theatre had actually told me how important it is for soldiers to be appreciated. Whatever we are doing, we must make sure that those who deserve promotion are given it, because it is painful when someone is giving all he has and the promotion is given to somebody else.
