The Nigerian Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, has counselled officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army to embrace professionalism and loyalty to the Federal government as core principles of their duties. Mr. Buratai made the call at the Nigerian Army School of Artillery, Kachia, in Kaduna state, where he addressed officers and men at the prestigious training institution. The army chief, a lieutenant general, who was there to commission newly built students’ hostels, said soldiers must key into his vision of a new Nigerian Army. “I am impressed with your activities here in NASA which is in line with my vision which is to have a professionally responsive army in the discharge of its constitutional roles”, said General Buratai, who urged the soldiers to “keep on the good job, be professionals and remain loyal to the federal government of Nigeria.” Mr. Buratai said he was impressed with the quality of job carried out by the Commandant of the Nigeria Army School of Artillery under the 2016 barracks infrastructure development projects, and promised to intervene in the rehabilitation of infrastructure recently destroyed by rainstorm. In a related development, the Army chief on Friday commissioned some blocks of accommodation for Corporal and Below soldiers as well as a newly tarred road named after him at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji.

Thought loyalty should be to the nation. Else why is Buratai witch hunting those that were loyal to Jonathan's government? Does loyalty to Buhari's repressive govt translate to loyalty to the federal govt?

and yet one expert dullard keeps sacking one particular tribe soldiers over the other?...

yes i agree with buratai, this is why fulani should recruit only we yoruba muslims to the army among the south. We don't mind if we remain ordinary recruits as long as fulanis are in charge.

Explains why most decorated service men are from the north. All military training schools and institutions are in the north. Here comes marginalization. Why won't IPOB emerge and say they want their country back? They are fed up. Same goes with the Niger Delta Avengers, they've had enough. Where nigeria's billions and trillion churns out from is treated with neglect. The land there is like hiroshima's. Most people "ruling" nigeria are from the north. At least lil positions shld be given to the west and the south too!. #ìhavehadenuf!

It's obvious you are a still pained by your heroes defeat at the polls to the extent it has made you blind of facts, the south (since u love generalisation of the north) has been in Govt for 14 yrs b4 now, and where did u get ur facts on the most decorated soldiers been from the north, and lastly what are you? IPOBIAN or NDA cos I thought both have different agenda's. Go sit-down.

Wrong. Loyalty should be to the constitution

What do you aspect when the head is not correct.

The military have been disarmed so much that you can't talk of coup now.
