The Chief Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai has charged Regiment Sergeant Majors, RSMs in the Nigerian Army to acquire skills in Information and Communication Technology, ICT in order to remain relevant.
Buratai gave the charge at the opening of RSM annual convention on Wednesday, in Kaduna.
The theme of the convention in which 306 RSMs are participating was: “Professionalism Through Regimentation in the Nigerian Army.’’
Buratai said that was necessary because of the involvement of the army with enemies who had gone digital in operations.
The Army Chief also urged them to embrace the language learning programme introduced by the Army, which had been in existence for long but not fully implemented, adding that learning one or two Nigerian languages apart from their own language was one of the ways to ensure integration, unity and espirit-de-corps.
Earlier, the General Officer Commanding 1 Division, Kaduna, Major-General Farouk Yahaya, noted that the RSM occupy an important position in the hierarchy of the Army.
