The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen. Waidi Shaibu, says superior weapons and advanced technologies alone do not guarantee victory on the battlefield without the needed fighting spirit.
Shaibu said that fighting spirit, collective resolve and a shared sense of purpose among soldiers ultimately determine military success.
The COAS spoke on Tuesday while addressing officers and soldiers at the Infantry Corps Centre during a seminar on “Warrior Ethos: A Tool for Building Unit Cohesion and a Combat-Ready Force” in Jaji, Kaduna State, for officers and soldiers attending a course at the Nigerian Army School of Infantry (NASI).
