My 66 months as COAS Were Eventful- Gen Buratai Remarks at Handover

The immediate-past Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, said the 66 months he spent as the number one officer of the Nigerian Army, was eventful.

He said he recorded many remarkable successes and sterling feats as COAS between July 2015 and January 2021, when held sway.

Buratai, made this known on Thursday at the Army Headquarters Conference Room, while handing over to his successor, Maj. Gen Ibrahim Attahiru.

PRNigeria reports that before the appointment of Attahiru, was on Tuesday appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari, as the new COAS, Buratai is the longest serving Chief of Army Staff in Nigeria.

Lt. Gen. Buratai, in a remark shortly before a ceremonial hand over, noted that Army’s officers and men, under his watch, became professionally-responsive, dedicated and committed to their statutory responsibility of safeguarding the territorial integrity of the nation, against any internal and foreign aggression.

He equally said that infrastructural development, especially with regards to the construction and rehabilitation of several army barracks, schools, and hospitals, among other projects, was one of the lasting legacy his leadership bequeathed.

In terms of improving security, the immediate-past COAS, said aside degrading the Boko Haram terrorists and army troops reclaiming some towns hitherto under the control of the insurgents in the North East, the problem of insecurity was somewhat tackled during his tenure in office.

Buratai, while expressing gratitude to the entire officers and men of the Army for their tremendous support to him, called on Maj. Gen. Attahiru to consolidate on the successes he would meet on ground.

On his part, the new COAS, Gen Attahiru promised to hit the ground running in order to address lingering security challenges bedeviling the country, at large.
