The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, says the Nigerian Army, under his leadership, remains fully committed to prioritising the welfare of troops and their families, describing it as critical to sustained operational success.

He said this while addressing troops of the 18 Brigade, Bida, at Latini Barracks, Bida, Niger State.

The COAS commended the troops for their dedication and efforts in ensuring relative peace within their Area of Responsibility (AOR).

He charged them to remain resolute in degrading and neutralising bandits and terrorists to restore public confidence and enhance security.

The Army Chief revealed that plans are underway to construct additional accommodation facilities and establish skills acquisition centres to improve the well-being and economic empowerment of troops’ families.
