The army expressed the condolence on Saturday in a statement signed by its spokesman, Onyema Nwachukwu, on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja.
Kale, who died on Wednesday, was the first female to command a military hospital in Nigeria.
Reacting to her death, the army chief, Lagbaja, described her death as a great loss to the Nigerian Army and the military, saying her legacies during her selfless service to Nigeria and humanity would remain indelible in the hearts of many.
“The Nigerian Army has received with heavy heart, but in absolute submission to the divine will of Almighty God, the news of the passing to glory of Major General Aderonke Kale (retd).
“The shining veteran of the Nigerian Army exuded unequalled commitment, diligence and unquestionable loyalty which paved the way, as she steadily rose through the ranks to become the first female officer of the Nigerian Army to attain the enviable height of Major General.
“The Chief of Army Staff while expressing his commiserations on behalf of Officers, Soldiers and Civilian staff of the Nigerian Army, to the family, relations and friends of the deceased Senior Officer, described her demise as a great loss to the Nigerian Army and the military community as a whole.
