CDS Musa urges troops to remain resolute in combating insecurity

The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, on Sunday urged troops to remain resolute in defeating insecurity and ensuring peace in the nation.
Mr Musa made the call in Abuja in his goodwill message on the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
He said the event is held annually to commemorate the unwavering commitment and heroism of servicemen and women in various military operations.
“As we reflect on the gains achieved so far, I charge you to remain resolute in defeating security threats to ensure enduring peace in every part of our dear nation,” said Mr Musa.
The defence chief promised to continue prioritising troops’ welfare while steering the affairs of the armed forces in line with his philosophy.
“The philosophy is to nurture professional armed forces that are people-centric and capable of meeting constitutional responsibilities in a joint and collaborative environment.
“I urge you to continue to remain vigilant and uncompromising in the discharge of your constitutional responsibilities,’’ he said.
Mr Musa said living and fallen heroes should be remembered by paying collective tribute to them for their everyday sacrifices.
“I assure of my unrelenting support as you continue to uphold our values of respect for the rule of law, professionalism, and loyalty to constituted authority, discipline, selfless service and courage.
“For those who have suffered one form of injury or the other, we appreciate you, and we will continue to pray for your quick recovery.
“Similarly, for those who have passed on, we thank you for your great sacrifices.
“Always remember that all your efforts and steadfast devotion in the defence of our democracy and national unity in line with our constitutional roles will never be in vain,’’ Mr Musa stressed.
He thanked President Bola Tinubu for his numerous and timely support for the armed forces.
