Linus Aleke in Abuja
The Nigerian Army has reaffirmed its commitment to defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, with the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, calling for prayers for the Armed Forces and the nation’s leaders as they confront the country’s evolving security challenges.
The renewed pledge was made during the Inter-Denominational Church Service held to mark the Nigerian Army’s 163rd Anniversary Celebration, where the Service reflected on its legacy of patriotism, resilience and sacrifice while renewing its dedication to national service.
Represented by the Commander, Army Headquarters Garrison, Abuja, Major General Maxwell Dangana, the COAS described the anniversary as an opportunity to appreciate God’s faithfulness, honour fallen and serving heroes, and recognise the courage and professionalism of personnel deployed across various operational theatres.
