The Nigerian Army has bid farewell to 18 retired senior officers of the Nigerian Army Corps of Supply and Transport (NACST) after 35 years of dedicated service. The ceremony took place at the end of a three-day conference in Benin City, themed "Optimising ST Capabilities towards Providing Effective Service Delivery to NA Operations in all Missions". The retirees were honoured for their contributions to the corps, which plays a crucial role in the operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Army.
Olaniyi Dare, speaking on behalf of the retirees, noted that their careers spanned several decades, during which they served in various operational, command, and staff roles within the Army. The Corps of Supply and Transport has remained committed to delivering reliable and efficient logistics support, whether during training exercises, peace support missions, or internal security operations within and outside the country.
The retirees expressed pride in the progress and transformation the Corps has witnessed over the years. They acknowledged that while they may be leaving active service, their commitment to the ideals and values of the Nigerian Army remains steadfast. Major General Danjuma Shagaya, Corps Commander of the Nigerian Army Corps of Supply and Transport, hailed the retired Generals for their decades-long service to the Nation.
The retirement of 18 senior officers from the Nigerian Army Corps of Supply and Transport marks a significant milestone in the corps' history. Major General Danjuma Shagaya's statement highlights the dedication and commitment of these officers, who have served the Nation for decades. As they transition into retirement, it is essential that their expertise and experience are harnessed to support the corps' ongoing operations and future development. The Nigerian Army must ensure that the knowledge and skills of these retirees are not lost, but rather leveraged to enhance the corps' operational capacity. This will not only be a testament to the corps' commitment to excellence but also a demonstration of the Army's willingness to innovate and adapt to changing circumstances.
