 President Ballatino has decorated and newly appointed service chiefs with their new ranks at the Council chambers of the Presidential Villa Rabuja, charging them to maintain teamwork to ensure peace and stability in the country. The Senate had previously confirmed their appointments before the ceremony. Speaking of education, the President emphasized the importance of maintaining teamwork, which he credited for the gains recorded thus far in the security sector. Like I always say, no matter how diverse we are, we are one family, staying in the same house, but living in different rooms. And you are promoting that peace and stability on behalf of all of us and for all of us. May God Almighty grant you peace, progress, and success and all your life endeavours. The challenge is ours together and together we will sail. Speaking on behalf of the service chiefs, General Musa expressed their unallied commitment to ensure the security and defence of the nation in their respective positions. I can show an endurance that you have the best team ever and we're ready to work and we're hitting the ground running. In fact, I'm sure those videos you're seeing are very old videos. Of recent, you hardly ever hear any issue of welfare, shortage, non-payment of salaries. Every soldier is entitled to speak and we ensure that they get their pay. The service chiefs are doing a wonderful job, ensuring that the pay and allowances are received as at when due. Thank God for Mr President. He looked through the armed forces and he chose the best of the best from each service. His choice also depicts inclusion. No region is left out of this exercise and the good thing is that marriage was placed on the front burner. So we have no doubt that it's a new dawn. We have no doubt that insurgency may be a thing of the past. We have no doubt that the ECOWAS issues we have may also be resolved because we have the right team with a focus and with synergy. They are all from the 39 costs and we hope that Nigeria would witness a renewed hope that it truly deserves.
