The authorities of the Nigerian Army
have said the directive given by President Muhammadu Buhari for the
military’s relocation of Command and Control Centre to Maiduguri was
being strictly adhered to.
At a briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, the
Army said the grand finale of this year’s edition of the Armed Forces
Remembrance Day celebration would take place in Maiduguri.
According to Brig. Gen. Donald Oji who
spoke on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minima said
the celebration would be low-keyed.
“The choice of Maiduguri to host the
closing activities of NADCEL 2015 was informed by the need to further
raise the morale of our troops in the area of operation by showing
solidarity to them ,” Gen. Oji said.
The celebrations, which started
yesterday, will also include a medical outreach programme to the
Internally Displaced Persons camps in Maiduguri from July 4 to 5.
The Chief of Army Staff is billed to lay
wreath at the military cemetery in Maiduguri and to visit the 7
Division hospital where injured military personnel are being treated.
He will also address troops and present medals to deserving gallant officers and men.
