General Buratai who was represented in Lagos, recently at the graduation ceremony of the Nigerian Army College of Logistics (NACOL)’s Logistics Management Course 14,2016 by Commander, Nigerian Army Ordinance Corps, Major General Rasheed Yusuf, noted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment and encouragement of efforts at combating the security challenges in the country had gone a long way in enhancing the successes of the military so far.

Buratai said, “On our part, our response to his excellency’s kind gestures is our unalloyed loyalty and subordination to democratic governance.  Commanders at all levels must continue to provide requisite leadership and ensure that their personnel are continually reminded of the need to uphold the tenets of military professionalism at all times by being guided by the provisions of the constitution,” he said.

Responding to the challenges facing NACOL, the Chief of Army Staff, directed the relocation of the Nigerian Army College of Logistics (NACOL) from its current location to its permanent site in Ojo, Lagos as first major step to addressing the challenges.
