The federal government yesterday commended the Nigerian Army for remaining a highly professional security agency subordinated to civil control since 1999.
The Minister of Defence, Maj. Gen. Bashir Magashi (rtd), made the commendation yesterday on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari at the grand finale of the Nigerian Army Day Celebration (NADCEL) 2021 in Abuja.
Magashi also charged the army to remain resolute in tackling security challenges bedevilling the country.
He commended the army for saving the country from disintegration and for demonstrating a high level of professionalism in its operations.
