The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 81 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Umar Thama Musa has warned the troops of 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala Barracks, Ogun state to stay out of illegal duties.
He noted that anything that would negate the vision of the COAS which is to have a professional Nigerian Army ready to accomplish assigned missions within a joint environment in defense of Nigeria will not be tolerated.
The GOC gave the charge during his maiden familiarisation visit to units and formations in Ogun State which are under 81 Division Area of Responsibility.
Similarly, he charged the troops to remain apolitical, loyal, and professional, and to uphold total discipline in the course of discharging their duties.
The GOC was received by the Commander 35 Artillery Brigade, Brigadier General Isa Abdullahi during the Brigade’s operational activities, who later led the GOC and members of his entourage on a guided tour in the barracks.
Major General Musa said the visit would give him the opportunity to determine the state of readiness of the units and formations as well as to physically see how the troops are faring and bring needed improvement within available resources.
He further assured the troops that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) would continue to improve on efforts being made that would make the troops function optimally, stressing that the army authority was very much aware of the accommodation challenges being faced by the troops and that very soon renovations in the barracks are nearing completion will bring needed succour.
In a similar vein, the GOC paid a courtesy call on the Governor of Ogun State Prince Dapo Abiodun where he assured the Governor that his troops would continue to conduct themselves professionally to restore law and order in the state whenever the need arises.
Major General Musa commended the Governor for the support he has been rendering to NA troops in the State and that his office is open for any assistance from the army.
Major General Musa also paid homage to the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, His Royal Majesty Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo Okukenu IV whom he thanked for his fatherly efforts in ensuring a harmonious relationship between the military and his subjects. He also sought the fatherly blessing of the royal father.
