Speaking at the occasion, General Musa commended the troops for their unwavering dedication and sacrifices in ensuring the nation’s safety and security.

He also thanked Sokoto State Governor, Dr. Ahmad Aliyu, for his backing of the military’s efforts.
During the visit, the CDS took time to visit wounded and sick soldiers of the 8 Division, Nigeria Army, at their hospital beds, demonstrating his personal commitment to their welfare.
Major General IS Ajose, the General Officer Commanding 8 Division and Commander of Sector 2 Operation FANSAN YAMMA, described the feast as a testament to General Musa’s dedication to troop welfare, morale, and operational efficiency.
