According to him, such rewards would serve as a motivation to the officers and men of the army to put in their best in the defense of the territorial integrity of the country.

“This ceremony is to reward and recognise hard work, dedication and commitment of NA officers while promoting healthy competition among Nigeria Army Corps or institutions towards enhancing professionalism in the military.

“I am pleased to be here for this important ceremony to honour officers, who have distinguished themselves in various capacities during NA promotion examinations conducted by TRADOC NA in the Year 2024.

“This initiative will definitely encourage officers to prepare adequately for future army examinations.

“It will also propel and stimulate junior officers to strive for excellence in a bid to enhance professionalism, which is in line with my command philosophy,” he said.

While commending President Bola Tinubu and Commander in Chief for his continuous support to the Nigerian Army, the acting COAS also appreciated the Minister of Defence and Chief of Defence Staff for their contributions.

In his welcome address, Maj.-Gen. Kelvin Aligbe, the Commander, TRADOC said that the command introduced the TRADOC NA Merit Award in the Year 2021 to reward excellence and instill the culture of hard work and healthy competition among officers.
