Annual 67th Passing Out Parade at Nigerian Military School, Zaria.

The Nigerian Military School (NMS) today celebrated its 67th Passing Out Parade in Zaria, 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 Chief reiterated his Command Philosophy, anchored on readiness, operational effectiveness, sound administration, and cooperation with stakeholders, stressing the “Soldier First” concept that prioritises the welfare and morale of personnel.

According to the COAS, the Nigerian Army continues to invest in living conditions, welfare schemes, and career development to support its officers and soldiers. As part of the celebrations, projects including the remodelled Calabar Company, NMS House, and PSOs’ House were commissioned. The event closed with a ceremonial group photograph of dignitaries and graduating cadets.

The Nigerian Military School, established in 1954, is the country’s foremost military secondary institution, dedicated to producing disciplined and skilled young men for service to the nation.
