The Commander Training and Doctrine Command Nigerian Army (TRADOC NA), Maj. Gen. Stevenson Olabanji, has praised the existing synergy between the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Airforce in their collective effort to defend the territorial integrity of the country from internal and external aggressors.
Maj. Gen. Olabanji handed down the commendation at the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) 455 Base Services Group (BSG) Kano on Thursday, 13 October 2022, when he paid a courtesy call to the Commander, 455 BSG Kano, Air Commodore LI Kamat.
He expressed appreciation for support rendered to the TRADOC NA team during the preparatory phase of the Captain to Major Practical Promotion Examination (CMPPE) 2022 in Kano.
While commending the synergy of efforts between NAF 455 BSG Kano and 3 Brigade NA, he said: “This cooperation no doubt has enabled the peaceful and secured environment in Kano state, which was instrumental to the decision of the TRADOC in choosing Kano state for the CMPPE 2022”.
The Army training and doctrine commander declared that the ongoing gesture of jointness is in line with the vision of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. Gen. Faruk Yahaya, which encourages conduct of joint operations among services and other security agencies in defence of Nigeria.
He consequently implored the Commanders to sustain the collaborative efforts in creating a safe and secured environment, especially in view of the forthcoming general elections.
Air Commodore Kamat, in his response, thanked the Commander for the visit and guidance. He assured him that the good working relationship between the two formations will be sustained
