Leading the pack was Maj.-Gen. Victor Ezugwu, who spoke on behalf of the retirees.
Ezugwu encouraged their successors to not only sustain the modest strategic, operational and tactical achievements made, but also to surpass them.
”The frontline is expanding and the Nigerian Army is becoming increasingly committed with the eyes of the nation and the world on it.
”Our Infantry Corps must therefore not relent or rest on her oars as the entire Nigerian Army depend largely on the Infantry Corps to achieve its core mandate and mission.
”I admonish the Infantry that as the threats to Nigeria sovereignty is becoming asymmetric in time and space, you must be proactively way ahead of our adversaries in all aspects of the unfolding combat scenarios,” he added.
