Army charges troops against misconduct

The Commander of the Nigerian Army (NA) Corps of Engineers, Major General Philip Eromosele, has charged troops of 43 Engineer Brigade, Jos, Plateau State, to discharge their duties professionally and distance themselves from acts contrary to the military profession.

Addressing the troops recently when he paid an operational visit to the brigade, Gen Eromosele said the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Farouk Yahaya, had provided the needed welfare package for army personnel and their families aimed at improving the professional conduct of the troops.

He warned that any act short of military ethics capable of tarnishing the reputation of the army would be met with stringent measures.

Gen Eromosele noted the significance of training in the army as key to capacity development of troops, disclosing that the army had recently provided lots of opportunities for troops to acquire knowledge and urged all to take advantage of the opportunities to develop themselves.
