The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has urged troops on the front line across the country to redouble their efforts in defending the nation.
He also called on them to continue to exhibit the highest standards of discipline and loyalty to the country while carrying out their duties.
This was conveyed in a statement on Monday by the Director of Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Tukur Gusau.
Gusau said, “Gen. Musa has called on our gallant troops to redouble their efforts in defending our motherland and to continue to uphold the highest standards of discipline, loyalty, and integrity that are hallmarks of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
“He also urged them to continue working in unity with other security agencies to defeat the forces of evil and restore peace and stability across our nation. He further called on all Nigerians to embrace the virtues of tolerance, mutual understanding, and respect for constitutional authority.”
Gusau noted that Musa appreciated the troops for killing a terrorist kingpin, Haliru Buzu, in Zamfara.
He said, “General Musa also salutes members of the Armed Forces who have demonstrated unwavering commitment and valour in the face of various security challenges confronting our dear country.
“Particularly, the courage and bravery of the troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA in Zamfara State for bringing down the notorious bandit leader, Haliru Buzu, and others.
The CDS also extended his appreciation to the troops of Operation HADIN KAI in Maiduguri for their noble role in rescuing thousands of flood victims during the recent devastating flood in Maiduguri.”
He said the CDS called on all Nigerians to reflect on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, which emphasise peace, compassion, tolerance, justice, and service to humanity.
Gusau said, “As we commemorate this sacred and auspicious event, the CDS calls on all Nigerians to reflect on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, which emphasise peace, compassion, tolerance, justice, and service to humanity.
“These, he said, are the same virtues that guide the noble mission of our military to protect the territorial integrity of our nation and safeguard the security and well-being of all Nigerians.”
