The Nigerian Armed Forces have unveiled the Tattoo 2025 Logo, a new emblem symbolizing the military’s values of resilience, valor, and unity. The event, held on Friday in Abuja, was presided over by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Gen. Musa described the logo as a “cathartic tribute” to the military’s storied history, discipline, and unwavering commitment to national security. He emphasized that the logo serves as an emblem of pride and inspiration not only for the armed forces but also for the general public.
“This tattoo is more than a parade; it is a testament to our discipline, understanding of command, obedience, loyalty, and sacrifice,” said Gen. Musa. He highlighted that the Tattoo 2025 will bring together armed forces from various countries to showcase their parades, cultures, and operational excellence, fostering camaraderie and professionalism.
Musa contrasted the professionalism of the Nigerian military with non-state actors, asserting, “This is what separates a professional armed force from non-state actors—they lack the discipline, culture, and heritage that we celebrate today.”
The CDS explained that each element of the logo reflects the military’s unwavering dedication to peace, security, and independence. It embodies a vision for the future while paying homage to the sacrifices of the past.
According to Gen. Musa, the logo will serve as a rallying symbol for the armed forces and a source of inspiration for the nation.
Rear Adm. M. Mohammed, Chairman of the Planning and Organizing Committee, lauded the military as a symbol of strength, courage, and unity. He emphasized that the Tattoo 2025 aims to showcase the military’s operational excellence, vibrant culture, and the dedication of its personnel.
“This logo and the tattoo event stand as a testament to the resilience and capabilities of our military. It will undoubtedly become a source of national pride,” Mohammed added.
The Tattoo 2025 Logo is set to reinforce the Nigerian military’s reputation as a disciplined and professional force, inspiring both servicemen and the public to uphold the values of service and sacrifice. The event marks another step in showcasing the military’s rich heritage and its role in uniting the nation.
The unveiling ceremony signifies a renewed commitment to excellence, professionalism, and the enduring spirit of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
