AVM Zannah commended the staff of NDA for their sacrifices and urged them to continue to put in their best for the attainment of the Academy’s mission, especially as the nation’s security is being threatened by different kinds of challenges.

While thanking all officers, soldiers, civilian staff and cadets of NDA for their efforts in ensuring that the event was a success, he commended them for job well done in the year 2018, urging them to put in more effort this year.

“Last year when I met the Chief Of Defence Staff to brief him of our activities, he was happy and told us to redouble our efforts,” said Gen Oyebade.

He however urged all and sundry not to forget officers and soldiers who paid supreme price in defending the country.

“We should always reach out to the widows. Non of the widows will lack the support needed. We shall do everything to ensure that they did not feel the absence and demise of their husbands who served the country tirelessly.
