He urged officers to remain
nonpolitical, take right actions and show commitment to work.
“We need to remain
absolutely loyal to Mr. President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is a
non-negotiable part of our profession.
“Commanders at all levels
must continue to provide requisite leadership and ensure that their personnel
are continually reminded of the need to be apolitical and continue to uphold
the tenets of military professionalism,” Buratai said.
COAS earlier, spoke on the
establishment of the schools with special interventions and renovation of
classrooms, provisions of ICT Centers as well as the vehicles to meet trainings
and operational requirements.
“We shall continue to look
inward in upgrading our schools and collaborate with the relevant stakeholders
towards their effective development. I will want to mention however that the
maintenance of facilities and equipment in our schools rest really on those
saddled with the responsibility to administer the schools at any given time” he
said.
“This important duty
requires us all to be alert at all times and to be prudent. It is a challenge
to us all and mark of responsibilities, and ensures accountability which
requires a change in attitude from all personnel.

of the series which has continued to provide the avenue to imbue participants
with the requisite knowledge in procurement procedures and ethics.
