The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General OlufemiOluyede, has tasked officers and instructors in Nigerian Army training institutions, particularly Depot Nigerian Army Osogbo, to produce top-notch soldiers that Nigerians could be proud of.

Oluyede gave this task when he paid a maiden operational visit to Depot Nigerian Army (NA) Osogbo, Osun State.

The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Lieutenant Colonel AppoloniaAnele, stated that the COAS, during his visit, emphasised the importance of effective training and professionalism in producing gallant soldiers that could frustrate the activities of local and transnational criminal groups and defend the nation’s territorial integrity.

He urged officers and instructors to align with his vision of enhancing the Nigerian Army’s capabilities in discharging its constitutional responsibilities.

Oluyede, therefore, charged the instructors to train the recruits with passion, focusing on capacity development with the sole aim of producing high-quality personnel.

The COAS also took the opportunity to tour and inspect the training facilities and infrastructure within the Depot, assessing the current state of readiness and identifying areas for improvement with the aim of boosting the Army’s operational readiness and performance.
