…as Army enlist 5,800 new soldiers

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.Gen Farouk Yahaya, has charged soldiers to be ready to defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria at all cost.

He gave the charge at the passing out parade of 5,800 soldiers of the 81 Regular Recruit Intake at the Depot Nigerian Army, Zaria on Saturday.
Yahaya reminded the young soldiers that Nigeria is currently facing numerous security challenges occasioned by the activities of Boko Haram Terrorists, armed bandits, kidnappers, secessionist agitators and other criminal elements.

The chief of staff who was the Reviewing Officer at the POP said the security challenges could only be surmounted by the collective resolve and effort of every officer and soldier of the Nigerian Army, including the newly recruited ones.
His words:
“You must be ready to go wherever ordered to defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria at any cost. You must obey all legitimate orders issued to you by your superiors no matter how unpleasant.

“It is also necessary to highlight that you are subject to both civil and military laws. As such, you must avoid any act that is inimical and poses a danger to the interest of the Nigerian Army, the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the Nation in general.”

While commending the efforts of Depot Nigerian Army for turning out brilliant soldiers for the country, the COAS added,
“Today marks yet another chapter in the history of this great institution and the Nigerian Army as we welcome a new set of soldiers into our noble profession.

“Depot Nigerian Army since its establishment in 1924 has borne the responsibility of molding selected able-bodied citizens into well-trained and disciplined soldiers to meet the manpower demands of the Nigerian Army.

“This function is of utmost importance and remains relevant considering the numerous security challenges presently bedevilling our great nation.”
Highlights of the of the occasion was a beautiful parade by the passing out recruits and physical fitness exercise display to the admiration of the invited guest and families of the new soldiers.
