 Now the Nigerian army has assured its readiness to continue to consolidate on the gains achieved so far in tackling the security challenges in the country. WandaVision garrison commander of Nigerian army Brigadier General Chibweze Oboeze gave the assurance at the opening of the Wanda vision inter-rigade competition in Kaduna state not west Nigeria. Brigadier General Chibweze Oboeze said that the Nigerian army will continue will always be combat ready in carrying out its constitutional mandate. He noted that competition of this nature will enable troops to maintain the level of physical and mental fitness. The consigns on the need for the Nigerian army to continue to build on the gains already achieved so far in tackling the numerous security challenges confronting the nation transform the Nigerian army into a well-trained, equipped and highly motivated force towards achieving our constitutional responsibilities within a joint environment. I have no doubt that all the contingents are adequately prepared to keenly compete and emerge victorious in the various events for the competition. The guest speaker who is the outgoing commander 453 Bay Service Group Nigerian Air Force Base Kaduna Air Commodore Ademuyua Adedoye says the competition would enhance physical and leadership capacity of the athletes as well as boost morale of the personnel to confront current security challenges in the country. The objective of this competition is to improve your combat proficiency, your physical fitness, and to also enhance your leadership strength and to allow organizational ability, use of initiative, and more importantly to promote experience because we are all aware of the growing security challenges confronting the nation and with the emphasis on the Nigerian army in particular is increasingly engaged. These challenges are brought forward. We need to continually integrate training and operations, especially in the aspect of physical and leadership training. Thus, your physical and mental preparation are of paramount importance and can only be achieved through regular training and the more you train in this time, the less you sweat during the war. Exercise is also intended to prepare you for battle in view of the current security challenges.
