The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, has ordered an immediate investigation into a viral video, showing troops allegedly expressing dissatisfaction over food supplies.
\nThis is contained in a statement by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Lt.-Col. Appolonia Anele, on Thursday in Abuja,
\nThe video, which surfaced on social media and had since been picked up by mainstream outlets, featured soldiers displaying food items purportedly sent by military authorities.
\nWhile the full context and authenticity of the video remained unclear, the COAS said the matter would be treated with utmost concern.
\nAccording to him,\u00a0 findings from the investigation would be made public in the spirit of transparency and accountability.
\nThe COAS\u00a0reaffirmed commitment to troops\u2019 welfare, emphasising the army\u2019s \u201cSoldier First\u201d initiative, which,\u00a0prioritised the well-being, dignity, and operational readiness of personnel and their families.
\nHe\u00a0urged personnel to channel complaints through established military procedures rather than resorting to unauthorised platforms, which is a violation of military ethics and discipline.
\nHe\u00a0restated the dedication of the Nigerian army to maintaining high standards of leadership, integrity, and troop\u2019s welfare in line with its constitutional responsibilities.
\n\u201cTroops\u2019 welfare remains\u00a0topmost priority, in line with consolidating the transformation of the Nigerian army toward bequeathing a well-motivated and combat-ready force that can effectively discharge its constitutional responsibilities within a joint and multi-agency environment.
\n\u201cThis philosophy is further reinforced in the recently launched \u201cSoldier First\u201d Concept, which places the welfare of family members, well-being, dignity, and operational readiness of soldiers at the core of all Army policies and actions.
\n\u201cThe Nigerian army encourages personnel to utilise established and appropriate military channels to present their concerns or complaints especially on welfare services.
\n\u201cThe use of unauthorised platforms to express grievances, particularly on operational matters, is highly discouraged and considered a breach of military ethics and discipline.
\n\u201cThe Nigerian army reassures all its personnel and the general public that it will continue to uphold the highest standards of leadership accountability, troops\u2019 welfare and institutional integrity in fulfilment of its constitutional mandate.
\n\u201cThe well-being and effectiveness of the Nigerian soldier remains central to our ongoing transformation efforts and operational success.\u201d (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
