Today in Kaduna, I represented my boss, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the Grand Finale of the Nigerian Army Day Celebration.
In my remarks, I reaffirmed President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to the welfare and operational capacity of the Nigerian Armed Forces, as this administration will continue investing in modern equipment, intelligence, and human capital to ensure officers and personnel of the military are well-armed.
I noted that while a country is only as strong as the courage of those who defend it, the Nigerian Army has remained the spine of Nigeria’s sovereignty for the past 162 years, shaping the course of the nation’s history.
Indeed, this nation owes it as a duty to keep equipping and empowering those who defend it.
-Vice President Kashim Shettima
