The Nigerian

Kaduna State, with the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede,
charging the graduating boys to uphold discipline, resilience, and patriotism
as guiding principles in their lives and service.
In an
address delivered on his behalf by the General Officer Commanding 1 Division,
Major General Mayirenso Saraso, General Oluyede congratulated the graduating
class, describing their achievement as a testament to years of hard work,
endurance, and commitment to the values of duty and national service. He noted
that over the past six years, the cadets had faced physical and mental
challenges that demanded their utmost.
“You have
learned the essence of teamwork, selflessness, and integrity. These experiences
have shaped you into soldiers, guardians of our sovereignty, defenders of our
democracy, and symbols of national pride,” he affirmed.
The Army

effectiveness, sound administration, and cooperation with stakeholders,
stressing the “Soldier First” concept that prioritises the welfare and morale
of personnel.
