The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has called on officers and soldiers of the Nigerians Armed Forces to remain disciplined, resilient, patriotic, and courageous in their service to the nation as they celebrate EID-EL-FITR.
In his Sallah message to officers and men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria in Abuja, the CDS appealed to all Nigerians to extend their love and support to the personnel. He said their sacrifices and unwavering dedication to safeguard Nigeria were deeply appreciated.
Musa said: “We recognise the sacrifices you make, sometimes at great personal cost, to ensure the peace and security of our nation. As Chief of Defence Staff, I reaffirm my commitment to the welfare and well-being of our troops in all theatres of operation.”
He said the Sallah celebration is a chance to seek forgiveness, divine favour, and enduring peace for the nation.
“As you commemorate this sacred time, I urge you to uphold the virtues of piety, honesty, tolerance, love, and unity, which you embraced during Ramadan.”
Musa appreciated the support of President Bola Tinubu to the armed forces in spite of the economic challenges facing the nation.
