The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has been honoured as the “Most Outstanding Chief of Army Staff” by Society Watch Magazine.
Nigeria’s Army Chief was singled out for his dogged, brave and fearless approach in containing banditry, terrorism and insurgency.
Under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s military have recorded incredible progress in the war against the Boko Haram terrorists.
From chasing the remnants of insurgents to the fringes, reopening previously inaccessible roads to the return of Internally Displaced Persons, the Nigerian troops are gradually restoring peace to the northeast.
Society Watch Magazine appears to be utterly overwhelmed by the COAS and the Army which bagged the “Best Government Institution of the Year”.
At a ceremony held at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Abuja, on Wednesday, the platform, however, urged the COAS to sustain the momentum.
