…. Improve Response to Security Threats
By Kingsley Omonobi
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, has said the strategic expansion of the Nigerian Army through the establishment of new brigades, formations and units, alongside the recruitment of thousands of additional soldiers, will strengthen the Army’s operational capacity and improve its response to the nation’s security challenges.
Shaibu stated this on Sunday while delivering a goodwill message to officers and soldiers during the interdenominational church service marking the 2026 Nigerian Army Day Celebration (NADCEL) at the All Saints Protestant Church, Mogadishu Cantonment, Abuja.
Represented by the Commander, Army Headquarters Garrison, Major General W.N. Dangana, the COAS said the expansion aligns with the Federal Government’s efforts to tackle the country’s security challenges.
