Speaking on behalf of the retiring officers, Major-General Ojiji expressed his delight at successfully completing his years of service and commended the Army leadership for their support.
He also appealed for improvements to be made for those still in service to enhance their performance.
“We recall that the Nigerian Army Armoured Corps (NAAC) has faced many challenges, ranging from poor accommodation to inadequate professional and medical facilities, among others.
“However, I am happy to note that many functional accommodation blocks have been established, and the ambiance of the barracks is now very welcoming. Many resources and efforts have been invested to improve the situation, which is heartwarming,” he said.
“Kudos to commander NAAC, his team of officers, soldiers, and their families, who are determined together that things must improve in the corps,” he said.
Ojiji highlighted the need to address poor equipment grading, especially in formations and units and appealed to the Minister of Defence to look into it.
He added, “We hope that the minister of defence, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar, also make this his cardinal objective during his tenure. I plead with the Hon. Minister through this medium to deem it fit to do so.“
On his part, the commandant of the Armoured Corps, Major General Mohammed Ahmed, congratulated the retired officers, wished them well in their future endeavours and urged them to make themselves readily available for consultations and helpful advice on improving the Armoured Corps.
“We are happy we did what we should do. We carry out a lot of services to the community, ranging from free medical services to the provision of pipe-borne water, among others, and if they tell us about their problems, we promptly attend to those problems.
