Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Farouk Yahaya says all hands must be on deck towards achieving the strategic objectives of having a highly motivated and effective Nigerian Army. 

Lieutenant Yahaya stated during a 5day office management and document security workshop organized by 2 Divisions Nigerian Army Ibadan. 

Speaking on the theme of the workshop which is “Enhancing the Capacity of Nigerian Army, Checks for Improved Professionalism in Office Management and Document Security” Lieutenant Yahaya said it was putting the right peg in the right hole, considering the present security situation in the country. 

The Chief of Army Staff, who spoke through General Officer Commanding,  2 Division, Ibadan, Major General Gold Chibuisi said the workshop was aimed at appraising officers with modern development in documents, particularly with the increased use of cyberspace for relaying messages.

“The Nigerian Army has gone to great lengths to source for competent resource persons for this workshop. 

“A team of professionals are partnering with the Nigerian Army in this respect”.  

“These erudite gentlemen, some of whom you may have met while they were in service,  have graciously agreed to share their wealth of experiences with us in office management and document security “.

“They will bring a unique blend of service and civilian dimensions to the topics for you to have a wider and a more encompassing understanding of the challenges in document security “.

Lieutenant General Yahaya, therefore, urged the participants who were drawn from 2 divisions and 81 battalion of the Army to reciprocate by remaining motivated and professionally responsive in the discharge of their roles.

“AS you all know, the Nigerian Army is currently tackling terrorism,  insurgency,  banditry as well as other threats in various part of the country. There is no doubt that we cannot live up to expectations without exercising a high level of professional competence driven by committed commissioned officers and soldiers”

“It has therefore become expedient to build your capacity with a view to enhancing your performance in the on-going fight against the aforementioned security challenges”.

On his part, the Chief of Staff Administration, Brigadier General Muhammed Wabili, who spoke through Director of Manpower Planning, Major General PP Malla said in order to address breaches in document security, the idea of the workshop came up for personnel across formations and units for a maximum performance.
