The Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya has tasked the military to be more tactful, ingenious and innovative in its operations to be able to tackle the current insecurity challenges in Nigeria.
Yahaya gave the charge when he declared open the 22nd combat service support training week at the School of Supply and Transport in Benin, Edo state, with the theme: “Providing effective combat service support for the Nigerian Army to accomplish assigned missions in a joint environment.”
The Army Chief noted that giving the volatile and certain complex operational environments the army operates and manpower is continually being stretched, thereby presenting new challenges that require tact, ingenuity and innovation to tackle. According to him, more than ever before, the Nigerian army is currently engaged in several theatres of operations with corresponding demands on logistics.
Yahaya however, also thanked Governor Godwin Obaseki for gracing the ceremony and commended him for his donation of 20-bedroom accommodation to the school of supply and transport and other supports to the Nigerian army.
In his remarks, Obaseki also commended the Army Chief for his laudable initiatives since assumption of office, which he said had contributed to the relative peace and security in the state.
