The outgoing Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7
Division, Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu has attributed
successes recorded so far in the fight against Insurgency in the North East to
doggedness, hard work and determination of troops while urging them to increase
momentum in the campaign to flush out the remnants of the terrorists in the
region.
The Acting GOC made this remarks on Wednesday, in his
farewell address to Officers and Soldiers at the headquarters of the division
in Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri, Borno State.
He commended troops for their support and loyalty accorded
to him throughout his tenure as the Acting GOC.
“Successes recorded so far is as a result of collective
efforts of all of you here. I cannot take this glory alone because I could not
have achieved anything without your support and encouragement,” he said.
General Ezugwu also paid glowing tributes to the past GOCs
of the division whom he said laid solid foundation at the formative age of the
Division.
“We cannot forget the efforts of our past GOCs who laboured
to build this division before my assumption of duty as the 6th GOC,” he added.
He also paid tribute to fallen heroes of the war against
insurgency and prayed for God mercy upon them and repose of their souls.
“The death of these gallant men and women will not be in
vain. We that are still alive must double our efforts towards total elimination
of insurgency in the region so that their death will not be in vain,” he
stressed.
The GOC also used the opportunity to appreciate the Chief of
Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai for keying into the
change mantra of the Federal Government by bringing so much change in the
Nigerian Army.
