 The newly appointed commanders of the 32 Nigerian Defense Academy Major General John Ocai has assured of his commitment to a professional training of conduct in order to sustain their capacity to counter terrorism in the country. Ocai stated this when he took over from his predecessor, Plostivy Correspondent Habila Darufal Faas and the Shepherds. The pulling out parade ceremony marks the end of 35 years of military service of the 31st NDA Commandant Major General Ibrahim Yusuf. The decoration of the new commandant with NDA insignia lowering and hoisting of the flag and the inspection of the quarter guard signified a new leadership in the military. In its valedictory remarks, Major General Yusuf said the academy has repositioned its curriculum with 10-year strategic plan to be among the best military premier training school. No military fights a war. It is the nation state that fights the war. So I call on all Nigerians to continue to support their own army, their own air force, their own navy, their own police, their own security and intelligence agencies. Collectively, we can deal with all the threats confronting us. And if we keep blaming the military, the security agencies for whatever, for whatever incident that occurs, we will never get there. The closer the military, the paramilitary and the civilian population as well as the government, the closer we are to each other, the closer we work together, the faster it will be for us to deal with the challenges confronting us. We work with each other, the more we blame each other, the more difficult it will be for us to deal with the challenges confronting us. The new commandant, Major General John O'Chai expresses readiness to improve on the legacy of his predecessor, especially in the area of capacity building. I set advice for us on how to move the academy forward. On this note, I want to congratulate Major I.M. Yusuf for a highly distinguished career in the armed forces of Nigeria, of the Nigerian army of our generation that has a much richer history and I wish you and your family the very best as you go into retirement. My advice to you is that you've put in over 40 years in the service of our great country. Now it is time for you to go and rest. He calls for support in the fight against terrorism, banditry and other territorial threats. I position the academy to produce general leaders with capacity to deal with the current and future challenges, provided our primary clients, the services, evolve their post-commissioned capacity development programs, taking cognizance of the new robust foundation established by the academy, desist from any venture that is illegal, immoral or unethical. This will always be at the detriment of your career and could lead to irreversible consequences. Don't expand your energies, seeking shortcuts or favours from superiors. Use that energy to develop your competencies because good character, competence and leadership are what will make the system find you at the appropriate time.
