 President Mohamed Bari and Thel stay performed the Nigerian Army color presentation ceremony at the Eagle Square in Abuja, where 53 regimental callers used in other battle were retired. The ceremony witnessed the issuance of new colors to 28 newly established and operational units in the Nigerian Army, bringing the number of units to 81 from 53. The presentation of color ceremony, which was preceded by a military parade, saw Mohari adorned in a full military uniform with his rank of Major General and Commander-in-Chief of the M forces, clearly specified in what will be his last major outing with the Insania. The retirement and presentation of military callers is a traditional ceremony practiced by armies of Commonwealth nations every 10 years to mark an anniversary or event in the history of a particular regiment. This is the last briefing and presentation of color parade in 2007. New units have been established and operationalized in line with the increasing operational commitments of our Army. Additionally, existing colors have been extensively involved in multiple operations in various geopolitical zones of the country, as well as foreign countries, hence deserving of retirement. Today's ceremony is a continuation of our effort to reinvigorate the fighting spirit of our troops through the inculcation of greater pride in their units. The nation's security situation was greatly challenged by the activities of violent non-state actors. Today, I am pleased to superficially note that the situation has tremendously improved, and I wish to also proudly highlight that we have made remarkable progress in the fight against insurgents, militants, oil bankers, kidnappers, and other criminal elements in the country, the Nigerian Army that we celebrate today would not have been able to discharge its responsibilities optimally, including today's proofing and presentation of colors without your collaborative effort. I wish to commend all Nigerians for their perseverance, support, to state that the country will continually lay on support from all segments of the Nigerian society.
