The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, has assured the Nigerian Defence Academy NDA of army’s support to enhance the security at the military university.
The Chief of Army Staff gave the assurance when he visited the academy, according to a statement issued by its Public Relations Officer, Major Bashir Jajira, in Kaduna.
Jajira said the Army Chief visit to the academy is to get a firsthand brief on the incident and to commiserate with the commandant NDA, Major General Ibrahim Yusuf, and its community.
He added that the COAS had assured the academy that the Nigerian Army would also provide the academy with additional operational enablers to further enhance security of the academy.
He appealed to the academy’s staff to remain loyal to the country and not allow the unfortunate incident to deter them from their ultimate objective of grooming officer cadets for the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
He further enjoined all officers, soldiers and civilian staff in the Academy to remain vigilant, “because the fight against insecurity must be a collective effort.”
