He added that the ceremony marks a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing our national security and ensuring that our armed forces are well equipped with the necessary skills and capabilities to address contemporary challenges.

General Musa maintained that given the evolving and dynamics of modern warfare, it is imperative for our forces to be well-trained , equipped and capable of responding swiftly to security demand.
