6 Division Decorates Five New Army Brigadier Generals

The 6 Division, Nigeria Army, Port Harcourt, has decorated five colonels with their new ranks of Brigadier General on Friday.

The newly decorated brigadier generals are: Chiedozie Amorha, Adamu Kitchener, Kingsley Iyang, Effiong Nse, and Ibrahim Gambari.

Addressing the newly-promoted officers at the division’s headquarters in Port Harcourt, the General Officer Commanding (GOC), Maj.-Gen. Jamaal Abdussalam, urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them.

He stated that the officers were part of the successful candidates who were promoted in the 2023 promotion exercise announced recently.

“The officers were deemed worthy and selected from many to be promoted to the rank of Brigadier General.

“Therefore, the promoted officers must align with the command philosophy of the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, when performing their duties.

“Lagbaja’s philosophy focuses on providing effective administration centred on the welfare, training, equipment, and high motivation of troops,” he said.

Abdussalam stated that embracing the COAS agenda would help the newly promoted officers fulfil their assigned tasks.

“It is important for them to reflect on the core values of the Nigerian Army, not only as officers but also as human beings.

“Reflecting on core values will help the new Generals embody the essential qualities of humanity: patience, hard work, dedication, loyalty, and humility.

“This is a well-deserved promotion, so you (officers) should dedicate yourselves to the increased responsibilities, as this rank demands only the best,” he advised the new Generals.

The GOC stated that the division’s responsibility is to protect the Niger Delta region and ensure that criminal elements do not halt crude oil production.

Speaking on behalf of the five newly decorated officers, Brig.-Gen. Chiedozie Amorha, thanked the COAS for recognising their worth, and praised the GOC for facilitating an environment for their success.

2024 Budget: You Want To Strangle Nigerians, PDP Slams Tinubu

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Bola Tinubu’s proposed N27.5trillion budget for the 2024 fiscal year as hopeless and a huge disservice. PDP said if the proposed budget is passed, it will further asphyxiate Nigerians and plunge the nation into more economic depression and hopelessness. A statement signed by PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said: “It is clear that the 2024 budget as proposed with its heavy provisions for the luxury appetite of the Presidency and All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, which is predicated and expected to be funded from multilateral and bilateral foreign loans and increased taxes on Nigerians, is designed to further mortgage our nation and strangulate the already impoverished Nigerians. “The budget framework with respect to recurrent expenditure vote of N9.9trillion, capital expenditure vote of N8.7trillion, and N8.25trillion for debt services is unsustainable and unrealisable in view of the stated outstanding debt and proposed
