The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa yesterday visited wounded soldiers receiving treatment at 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna, calling on officers and men of the Armed Forces to rededicate themselves and give their best to defend Nigeria.
He said his visit was to encourage the personnel, appreciate their sacrifices to the nation and see how they were recuperating.
“Without the troops, nothing can be done in the fight against insecurity and criminality. We are therefore together with them and praying for their quick recovery,” he said.
Musa noted that such a visit would aid their recuperation process and give them a true feeling that they are not alone.
He said the Armed Forces would ensure the injured troops get the best treatment. “Even if it’ll take us taking them abroad for treatment for other surgeries that cannot be done here, we will do that, “he said.
