Addressing the officers, Maj. Gen. Aligbe emphasised the need for sustained efforts in tackling the country’s security challenges, which include banditry, kidnapping, and external threats.

“We must complete this fight before returning to the barracks and turning our focus to other matters,” Aligbe said.

He urged officers to continue their training rigorously to ensure they are fully equipped for the challenges ahead.

Aligbe also reminded the officers that they must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice to both regional and global efforts aimed at maintaining peace.
