The Nigerian Army is set to hold the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) First Quarter Conference 2023. The Conference is expected to commence from 3rd and last till 6th April 2023 at the Army Command Officers’ Mess 1, Asokoro, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Customarily, the COAS Conference will offer an avenue for reappraisal of the administrative affairs of the Nigerian Army as well as evaluation and comprehensive review of ongoing operational engagements of the NA in all theatres of operations across the country, within the first quarter of the year. This will provide the NA an in-depth insight to enable far reaching decisions towards achieving its set objective of addressing the multifaceted security challenges confronting the country.
The conference will also create an opportunity for the COAS to have a face to face interaction with General Officers Commanding (GOC), field commanders and other senior officers to provide possible guidance on enhancing NA operations and other activities.
