Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Public Affairs to Kaduna state Governor, Hon. Victor Mathew Bobai, has commended General Christopher Gwabin Musa for his exceptional achievements as Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS).
According to a statement he made available to journalists on Friday, he said the praise follows an insightful interview the General Musa recently gave to AlJazeera, where he elaborated on his strategic initiatives that have greatly enhanced Nigeria’s national security.
He said since taking office in June 2023, General Musa has led a transformative era in Nigeria’s military operations, focusing on counter-insurgency, modernization, and humanitarian efforts.
According to Bobai, the General’s impressive achievements are a clear indication of his strong leadership and commitment to safeguarding the nation.
“General Musa has showcased an unwavering resolve against extremist groups, successfully leading operations that have not only reclaimed lost territories but have also significantly hindered the operational capacities of these insurgents,” Bobai stated.
He said the rescue of 330 schoolgirls in Chibok, a highlight of Musa’s tenure, is a beacon of hope amid a landscape marred by abductions and insecurity.
Bobai also emphasized how General Musa’s dedication to modernizing military tactics, integrating advanced technologies, and improving interagency cooperation has established a more effective and responsive defense sector.
“His approach to enhancing counter-insurgency operations and prioritizing military personnel welfare underscores a commitment to both operational success and ethical governance,” he said.
General Musa has initiated various social welfare packages that not only uplift military personnel but also create a foundation of trust and cooperation between civilians and the military.
He noted by advocating for adherence to human rights standards during military operations, he works towards a more harmonious relationship between security forces and Nigerian citizens.
“Your confidence, poise, and insightful responses made us proud. You’re an exemplary leader and an inspiration to many,” Bobai said
He noted that as Nigeria continues to grapple with complex security challenges, the leadership and vision exemplified by General Musa will be critical in steering the country towards stability and safety.
He said, “The commitment to humanitarian causes and military modernization is paving the way for a new era in Nigeria’s defense landscape, one that resonates with hope and determination among the populace.”
