The chief of army staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, says the Nigerian Army will harness various technologies to enhance the proficiency of combat arms.

Mr Lagbaja gave the assurance at the closing ceremony of the annual ‘Combat Arms Training’ week held at Jaji Military Cantonment in Kaduna.

Mr Lagbaja said that, based on what they saw in the firepower demonstration and display, the objectives of the Combat Arms Training have been achieved.

He, therefore, said that the combat arms and all other supporting corps would take note of all the experiences of the 2024 CAT week for effective service delivery.

“Those that will require immediate action should be taken accordingly. At the army headquarters, we await the communique that will be released, and we will look at it seriously, and all areas that require interventions of army headquarters will be duly addressed. It is quite interesting to see the various displays and many innovations that were made,” the army chief said.

Mr Lagbaja reiterated his willingness to support the various innovations made while he commended the infantry and armoured corps commanders, retired officers, and NDA cadets for their displays.

He said, ”All the various papers delivered by erudite resource persons have been noted for implementation accordingly.”
