Buratai visits Army training school, tasks officers on intelligent skills to defend the country

The Nigerian Army Chief, Lieutenant General Tukur  Buratai was at the Nigerian Army Armoured Corps, Nigerian Army Armour School and 33 Artillery Brigade Bauchi on Wednesday, June 3 where he assessed ongoing VT4 Main Battle Tank Training in which 155 officers and soldiers are undergoing   training for competent commanders, crew men, drivers and technicians.

While addressing the instructors, staff and 155 participants,  Buratai expressed satisfaction on the quality of training, commitment and discipline of the participants.

He said that – “Your discipline, commitment and assimilation is so far quite encouraging and  commendable.” “You should continue to learn well and be able to efficiently operate the new platforms in readiness to your deployment into the mission areas”.

“While I commend your efforts to the training, let me warn that you must operate the new equipment proficiently, we will not accept cowardice, sabotage or inefficiency under any guise whatsoever”

Buratai further urged the participants to maintain high standards of professionalism, effectiveness and discipline in whatever roles they might be assigned or deployed to. He commended the Commandant, instructors and staff of the school for a good job and directed the students to cooperate fully and learn as well as to apply what they have learnt practically and effectively in the war front.

The course participants, through their course leader, appreciate and commend the inspiring leadership of  Buratai and his uncommon efforts in the struggle to end terrorism in Nigeria and assured him of unflinching support and commitment to bring terrorism to an end so soon, leveraging fully on the newly  acquired equipment by the Nigerian Army.

Buratai used the opportunity to    assess the living accommodation  of some soldiers in Shadawanka Barracks, 33 Brigade Bauchi whose roofs were destroyed by rainstorm on which repairs are already ongoing as seen during the visit to the affected areas. The sudden visit to the sites is a reflection of  Buratai’s disposition of placing troops’ welfare as one of his top most priorities.

The construction and renovation of accommodation for personnel of the Nigerian Army is equally   ongoing in most of the Nigerian Army Barracks across the country just like in Lagos, Jos, Enugu and Portharcourt among others.

Instructively, some of the accommodation works have already been completed and commissioned especially in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja areas.
