Eleven generals of the Nigerian Army Ordinance Corps were on Friday, July 24, retired from service.
The officers who were retired in Lagos, include eight Major-Generals and three Brigadier-Generals.
The Major-Generals are Manhood Yerima, Abiodun Amao, Olayemi Abidoye, Boniface Azurunwa, Adekunle Martin’s, Christian Ugwu, Bode Ogini and Mashudy Adekanye while the Brigadier-Generals are Kachallah, Godfrey Nwafor and Gabriel Oladipo.
In a valedictory speech, Maj.-Gen. Manhood Yerima, former Chief of Training and Operations, Defence Headquarters, appreciated their service.
He said, “Your loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria can best be given through vigilance and security consciousness.
“You must continue to demonstrate total commitment to your duty to the nation just as you have exemplified in your recent successes in the fight against terrorism in the north-east.
“The Nigerian people, especially the retirees are expecting a lot from you in the face of the current insurgency.
“Your secondary role is to assist the government in ensuring internal peace and your involvement in internal security duties demand that all of you be non-partisan.”
