 The Nigerian Army has retreated its commitment that no sacrifices too much towards defending the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Speaking at a workshop, the general officer commanding one division, Major General Valentin Okoro said the workshop was aimed at highlighting the constitutional responsibility of the Nigerian Army. It is also to guide military conduct in armed conflict resolution whilst respecting human rights. As Nigerian Army personnel, soldiers and officers, you are now your people's army, so everything you are doing must be towards safeguarding the people, to create the environment for the people to be productive and that is the only way Nigeria can develop and move forward. So you are wearing this uniform to protect Nigerians and everybody that is living here, not just Nigeria, anybody that is resident in Nigeria, it is our duty to inconvenience ourselves, to make all the necessary sacrifices to make sure that the Nigerian sovereignty is not impinged upon and that Nigerians are able to go about their businesses in a safe and secure way. Brigadier General M.K. Gara represented General Okoro at the workshop. Another speaker was Brigadier General Sondekaji. He emphasized the responsibility of troops to operate within the confines of the law. The Nigerian Army, being an arm of the armed forces of Nigeria, has a sacred obligation to ensure that its personnel perform their duties within the limits prescribed by law and such as international shelter on human rights. Nigerian Army personnel must ensure that actions which might have negative implications on the lives of citizens, all their civil liberties are awarded at all times. The Nigerian Army is currently conducting internal security operations across the country with other security agencies. Therefore, a high level of discipline and professionalism is required from each soldier at all levels in order to ensure a successful operation. Thank you.
