Former Chief of Police and Plans, Major General Essien Bassey, speaking on behalf of the other retired officers insisted that the Army must imbibe sound professionalism in the conduct of its duties no matter the nature or degree of importance of the assignment.

“The current security challenges that the Nigerian army currently faces come to mind. The Army must carefully document its experiences in the ongoing operations in the North-East with a view to improving on its overall combat efficiency”, he said.

General Bassey called for a review of combat operation methods and logistics amongst others to enhance combat readiness and efficiency.

“It is heart-warming however, to note that very significant progress has been made in the fight against terrorism. The Army must therefore sustain the current momentum and put this difficult moment of our national history behind us”, he concluded.
