3 Things Tinubu Must Do To Win Commitment Of The Armed Forces-Kaigama

If President Bola Tinubu wants members of the Nigerian Armed Forces to remain motivated and committed, there are 3 things that he must do.

The insight comes against the backdrop of this year’s marking of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day, in Abuja yesterday.

Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, Most Rev Ignatius Kaigama, who spoke on the auspices of the yearly memorial listed the 3 things thus:

1. First and foremost, the Federal Government must ensure the prompt payment of benefits to families of fallen heroes.
2. It should also pay close attention to the welfare of the veterans still alive
3. The government must also ensure the provision of good and functional weapons and resources to acquire transparently and accountably modern technology to lessen casualties and defeat terrorism and banditry.

Kaigama said these 3 things, if done, would motivate others who are serving presently in the armed forces to give their all, by serving selflessly.

The authorities must ensure that good and functional weapons are available, provide the resources to acquire transparently and accountably modern technology, to lessen casualties as they engage in a multidimensional fight with bandits, terrorists, criminals, kidnappers, etc.

“With arms and strength of the will, our armed forces men and women can decimate the enemies who don’t wish Nigeria and Nigerians well”, he said.

Kaigama described the situation presently being experienced in Nigeria as the “peace of the graveyard”, adding that so long as there are no consequences for wrongdoing, the system would never outgrow corruption.

Kaigama emphasised these in his message delivered in Abuja during Armed Forces Inter-Denominational Service as part of activities marking the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

“We owe a lot to our fallen heroes of the armed forces, for the supreme price paid and sacrifice made to unite this country and to represent it abroad excellently.
