The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, has called on troops in the Nigerian Army to complement their military efforts with prayers for the success of the Nigerian Army in its operations.
Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, made this known in a statement shared on the Nigerian Army’s Twitter page on Sunday.
Lagbaja made the call at the Interdenominational Church Service marking the Nigerian Army Day Celebration 2023 in the commemoration of its 160th year of existence since 1867 held on Sunday at the Mogadishu Military Cantonment in Abuja.
He noted that the Interdenominational Church Service is among the series of activities earmarked for all NA formations and units to commemorate the birth of the NA, as a symbol of national unity and integration.

The statement partly read, “As we mark our 160th year, I must confess that our journey has not been a bed of roses, as the Nigerian Army, in the course of holding our nation together, has fought a civil war, participated in peacekeeping cum peace enforcement missions and is currently involved in combating terrorism, insurgency and other criminalities across the country.”
