In his message to the Muslim Ummah within the Nigerian Army (NA), the COAS described the Eid-el-Kabir as a significant festival depicting the important place of sacrifice in humanity and divinity.

General Lagbaja noted that Nigerian Army troops have displayed unalloyed loyalty, extraordinary courage, and faith in the nation, thereby emerging victorious in the face of grave danger. He explained that many bear the badge of courage and bravery in the form of battle scars and injuries, while others carry the memories and stories of their sacrifices for our beloved country.

The COAS enjoined all to show collective understanding and support for the government’s efforts to implement necessary reforms to restore economic prosperity. He also urged all Nigerian Army personnel and their families to renew their commitment to selflessness and patriotism for the growth and development of the country. He reaffirmed his dedication to providing visionary and inclusive leadership needed for effective training, robust living standards, and operational effectiveness.

The COAS expressed profound appreciation to President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his unflinching support and leadership.
