Promotion in the Nigerian Army is an annual exercise by the Service to qualified personnel who have distinguished themselves over stipulated period of time. Earlier in the year, the Nigerian Army carried out several promotion exercises for other categories of its personnel. These include the Junior Non-Commission Officers (JNCOs), Senior Non-Commission Officers and Warrant Officers category, as well as Junior officers from the rank of Second Lieutenant to Lieutenants, Lieutenants to Captain6s and from Captains to Majors.

The approval of the promotion by the Army Council for the senior officers today, is the last for the year. The promotion exercise is expected to re-energise the beneficiaries towards the discharge of their onerous tasks and responsibilities.
