The Chief of Army Staff (CAS), Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, has assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of absolute loyalty of the Nigerian Army to him and the Constitution of Nigeria.
Yahaya gave the assurance at the inauguration of the newly-constructed ultra-modern headquarters of the Nigerian Army School of Military Engineering (NASME) complex yesterday in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
The COAS said the Army would remain professional to enable the President achieve his vision of having a safe and secured nation for economic and other social activities to thrive.
“Rest assured of our resolve to confront the security challenges facing the nation,” he said.
Yahaya said he was convinced that the new NASME complex would fulfill the administrative purposes for which it was built in line with the provisions of one of the cardinal pillars of his command.

“I also believe that this complex will create the right ambience and working environment conducive for the commandant and workers towards enhancing the administration and training objectives of the institution.
“This state-of-the-art complex is equipped to host scholars from the academia and research institutions during seminars, workshops, conferences and brainstorming sessions.
“It will no doubt serve as a platform to showcase new inventions and promote interdisciplinary studies for cross-pollination of ideas geared towards proffering engineering solutions to address security challenges in the country,” he said.
The Commander of Corps of Engineers, Maj.-Gen. PE Eromosele, thanked the COAS for approving and making funds available for the construction of the edifice.
