The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja has reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the welfare and well-being of Nigerian Army personnel and their families in his address at the Nigerian Army Finance Corps West African Social Activities (WASA) marking the end of 2023.
Highlighting welfare as a foundational pillar in his Command Philosophy, the COAS assured troops that their welfare stands atop his agenda for the Nigerian Army.
General Lagbaja pledged relentless efforts to enhance troops’ welfare and announced forthcoming visible improvements in living accommodations across the NA’s barracks and cantonments in the new year.
The COAS, emphasising the need for prudent resource management in alignment with stringent financial measures, expressed confidence in achieving welfare goals despite budgetary constraints. “Irrespective of belt-tightening measures, the Army Headquarters will continue investing in programs for your welfare and well-being,” asserted General Lagbaja.
