The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Azubuike
Ihejirika, said on Tuesday that the military would
continue to assist President Goodluck Jonathan to
achieve his transformation agenda.
Ihejirika said this in Benin at the inauguration of
some projects completed by the 4 Brigade of the
Nigerian Army.
Some of the projects included the reconstructed
Soldiers Transit Camp, Office Complex, Visitors and
Officers Car Parks, NAOWA Complex and a 16-
seater bus.
Ihejirika, who commended the Brigade Commander,
Maj.-Gen. Pat Akem for his resourcefulness, said
the military, especially the army, “have bought into
Mr President’s transformation agenda.
“That is why the brigade commander and others
like him are making use of scarce resources to
transform the lives and working environment of
officers and staff of the brigade.
“The transformation agenda of government will not
be possible except we all play our different roles at
our different levels to complement Mr President’s
efforts in achieving it.
“I commend Akem for sustaining the healthy
military-civilian relations essential for the growth of
our democratic practice.’’
Ihejirika promised the army would continue to do its
best to ensure safer country and unity of Nigeria.
“I thank Mr President for making resources
available for the army since his assumption of
office.
“He has brought a lot of improvements to the
military in terms of rehabilitation of infrastructure
and provision of logistics for improved operational
capacity.’’
Earlier, Akem thanked the chief of army staff for
making resources available which enabled him to
execute the projects.
Akem praised the leadership quality of Ihejirika,
saying that “it propelled me in achieving this feat.
“I am particularly happy about the healthy
relationship between us and the civil society’’, he
said. (NAN)
