He said that the cleric, who laced his sermon with relevant scriptures from the bible,  said that “without discipline, there will be no destiny.”

Sokoya said the cleric charged officers and men of the Nigerian Army, especially personnel of the brigade, to abide by the Standing Operating Procedure of the army to enable them to excel.

He quoted Richard as saying that “discipline will lead you to enhanced performance and efficiency and this is in line with the Chief of Army Staff, Maj.-Gen. Farouk Yahaya’s vision of “ a professional Nigerian Army ready to accomplish assigned missions“.

Sokoya said that the church service was attended by officers and men of the brigade, members of the Nigerian Army Officers Wives Association (NAOWA), Edo chapter; the Nigerian Army School of Supply and Transport (NASST), barracks community and well-wishers.
