EXERCISE CAMP HIGHLAND: TRADOC COMMANDER CHARGES CADETS ON PHYSICAL AND MENTAL FITNESS

The Commander, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Nigerian Army, Major General SO Olabanji, has charged cadets of Short Service Course 47 (Army) to, upon Passing Out of the Academy and subsequent commissioning as Officers in the Nigerian Army, to always engage themselves in activities that would make them stay physically and mentally fit for the rigorous task of defending the territorial integrity of the nation and subduing all threats to national security.

Major General Olabanji gave the charge to the cadets at the Nigerian Army Table Hill, Kachia, during the Battle Inoculation and Firepower Demonstration phase of Exercise Camp Highland, conducted for cadets of Short Service Course 47 (Army), which marked the final field exercise for the cadets in the Academy.

The TRADOC Commander, who was the Special Guest of Honour(SGoH) at the event, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the cadets during the exercise. He noted that the exercise which was designed to imbue confidence in them was also aimed at exposing the cadets to real battle conditions and what they may face in real life battle situations.

Maj Gen Olabanji underscored the importance of physical fitness and positive attitude to work. He also used the occasion to urge the cadets to remain focused and disciplined in the discharge of all assigned tasks upon their graduation from the Academy. He also thanked the Commandant Nigerian Defence Academy, Major General IM Yusuf, for providing realistic training to the cadets.

The SGoH also used the occasion to thank the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General F Yahaya, for providing quality leadership to the Nigerian Army.

Highlights of the major training activities during the Exercise CAMP HIGHLAND for Army cadets of Short Service Course 47 include: Map Reading Phase at Hiepang, near Jos, to test the cadets’ practical application of map reading; Adventure and Leadership Training Package at the Citizen and Leadership Training Centre, Shere Hills, Jos; and Tactical Phase, along Katul –Gidan Ali – Kamuru Ikulu Axis in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Important features in the Tactical Phase included practice of new concepts of dismounted advance and reaction to enemy Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks, The Forward Operating Base (FOB) concept rather than the conventional deployment for defence, as well as aggressiveness during occupation of Forward Operating Base (patrols and ambushes) were also practiced.

The cadets were also trained on combat shooting in conjunction with the usual Field Firing. In addition to the firing of Rocket Propelled Gun 7 and throwing of Grenade, the cadets passed through series of training during the combat shooting training (including Reactive Shooting, Casualty Evacuation shooting, Night Shooting, Multiple Tactical drills, shooting after Physical Effort and Counter Ambush Drills amongst others).

The battle Inoculation was concluded with a novelty shooting by the Special Guest of Honour, dignitaries from Army Headquarters and invited guests from sister services.

UN Names Nigeria’s Maj. Gen. Sawyer UNISFA Force Commander

New Force Commander, UNISFA, Major General Benjamin Olufemi Sawyerr

The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has announced the appointment of Maj. General Benjamin Sawyerr of Nigeria as the Force Commander for the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei, UNISFA.

This was confirmed Tuesday, 1 February, 2022 by Air Commodore WM Maigida, the immediate past Acting Director of Defence Information while handing over to Major General Jimmy Akpor who, on Friday, took over as the new Director of Defence Information.

TheFact Nigeria reports that UNISFA is a United Nations peacekeeping force in Abyei, and was approved on 27 June 2011 by the United Nations Security Council in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1990 after a flareup in the South Kordofan conflict earlier in June 2011.

Abyei is an area of 10,546 km2 on the border between Sudan and South Sudan that had been accorded “special administrative status” by the 2004 Protocol on the Resolution of the Abyei Conflict (Abyei Protocol) in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended the Second Sudanese Civil War.

Sawyerr, who takes over from Major Gen. Kefyalew Amde Tessema of Ethiopia, has a military career spanning more than 34 years with the Nigerian Army, including serving as the Director of Defence Information of Nigeria’s Defence Forces since 2021.

Erstwhile Commandant of the Nigerian Army Armour School in Bauchi State, North-East Nigeria between 2020 and 2021, the new UNISFA Force Commandant held the position of Brigade Commander twice in North-East Nigeria. He was also Commanding Officer of the Nigerian Battalion with the United Nations Mission in Liberia between 2009 and 2010.

Sawyerr also served as the Director of Plans at the Nigerian Army Headquarters between 2019 and 2020, and Deputy Director of Doctrine and Combat Development from 2017 to 2018.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in Nigeria and a Masters in Defence and Strategic Studies from the University of Madras in India.

All it needs is Nigeria's leadership

My earlier rejoinder from the other thread:

Ghana's leadership of ECOWAS under President Nana Akuffo Addo is weak.

The Republic of Ghana other than the speaking of fine Queens English lacks the diplomatic finesse, weight, financial and military muscle to make anyone in Mali, Guinea or Burkina Faso pay attention.

Everyone expects Nigeria to always pick up the baton everytime but since the ECOMOG wars that cost over a billion dollars and in which some 1000 Nigerian servicemen perished bringing peace, stability and democracy to Liberia and Sierra Leone including having permanent combat troops on Standby in Guinea Bissau, successive Nigerian Presidents since Obasanjo have shied away from taking leadership roles in the African Union and ECOWAS knowing doing so heaps a lot of pressure on Abuja to intervene with the full weight of its diplomatic and military power in any crises. The expectation has been that established institutions will hold the forte and everyone will play by the rules but sadly the world has never worked that way.

So far Ghana has not fully deferred to Nigeria in its chairmanship of ECOWAS like Liberia did under Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's tenure as ECOWAS chair during The Gambian imbroglio which saw Nigeria effectively taking over the airspace of The Gambia, funding and galvanizing regional military deployments to its border which saw the flight into exile in Equatorial Guinea and political oblivion of erstwhile strongman His Excellency President Sheikh Prof. Dr. Alhaji Yahya Jemmus Junkung Jammeh.

This is a recipe for disaster. I can't emphasize enough one of the responsibilities of the President of Nigeria is foreign policy. The Federal Government of Nigeria is a very powerful entity with enormous political, diplomatic and military muscle to demand events go it's way both at home and in the near abroad. Nigeria has enormous force holdings it hasn't even deployed. There's no too busy the President is to overlook foreign policy except lack of foresight. If Nigeria demanded Asimi Goita step down with a no-fly zone over the entire current coup landscape in West Africa he would step down. I repeat this would never have happened under Obasanjo. Occupying the office is one thing and having the right democratic personality on the seat is another.

That singular phone of Mr. President today to Guinea Bissau is a body language another would be putschists would seriously consider.

He does have a VP no? he can fill that role when needed

You are talking rubbish. Must everything be about Nigeria?
What do you mean Ghana's leadership of ECOWAS under President Nana Akuffo Addo is weak? what kind of nonsense talk is that?

Tell me. what will Nigeria have done if it was chair of ecowas? send nigerian troops to Guinea, Mali and Burkina Faso? Is Ecowas Akuffo Addo's personal property? Ecowas is a voluntary union of countries. Decisions are taken by consensus. The chairman of ecowas does not take decisions and impose it on member countries. Decisions are reached by consensus. every country has one vote. whatever majority countries decide, the chairman will implement.

Ghana lacks the diplomatic finesse, weight, financial and military muscle to make anyone in Mali, Guinea or Burkina Faso pay attention?

You forgot that Ghana led the Ecomog forces that first landed in Monrovia in 1990? Today, nobody even talks about Ghana's contributions in ecowas. it is all about nigeria nigeria nigeria. The same nigeria that undermined Ghanaian Ecomog Force Commander General Quaynor. I was part of the ecomog troops that first landed at the Free port in Monrovia. Immediately the landing was successful, nigeria started scheming to take over from the Ghanaian General. And later they turned around to accuse General Quaynor of being weak. Damn hipocrites.

Nigeria is doing the same thing in Ecowas under Ghana's leadership. Nigeria is working tirelessly to undermine Ghana's leadership of Ecowas. I don't even know what or how countries benefit from this nonsense Ecowas. Left to me, Ghana should even pull out of Ecowas. It is a very useless organisation. Do you know how much Ghana spends on Ecowas? And yet you Nigerians don't even appreciate Ghana's contributions. This is soo annoying.

Let me ask you one question. huh? Is anyone stopping Nigeria from becoming chairman of Ecowas? As a Ghanaian, I will be happy if Ghana is NOT chairman of Ecowas. In fact, I will be happier if Ghana is NOT a member of Ecowas because it is a very useless organisation.

Your president often doesn't even attend ecowas summits in accra. he only attends when it is hosted in Abuja and yet the same man will be junketing all over the world.

You nigerians can take ecowas and shove it up your asses

Don't get too emotional wasting time stroking mentions it does not inflate your ego one bit rather exposes your insecurities. National pride is a welcome thing but it should not becloud reality. A butterfly cannot be a bird.

Sorry to bust your bubble but it is not "nonsense talk" to say Ghana's leadership of ECOWAS is weak. It is self-evident for all to see. Other than your President's English grammar which appears more of liking to hear himself speak to remind everyone he was in England, there is no assertiveness to his leadership.

Nigeria is ECOWAS. "He that pays the piper dictates the tune". Nigeria doesn't need ECOWAS it is Ghana that does but yes ECOWAS is important for West Africa and for Nigeria from a geo-political perspective. Ghana has more relevance with ECOWAS than without it like your current leadership which puts it on the map. Nigeria however will remain relevant with or without ECOWAS. A manifest destiny.

The Nigerian president don't need to attend all meetings especially outside Abuja because his presence commands weight behind any issue under deliberation meaning expectations become very high. His presence sends signals one way or another. A democratic Nigerian President will not stoop low to sit with putschists except if necessary to compel them to vacate power. It's a steep in protocol. You have to understand Nigeria's history of military rule and dictatorships which is abhorred in Nigeria to comprehend that. A State Governor in Nigeria controls more budget than most of those Presidents attending meetings in Accra.

The Nigerian President not attending is an opportunity for President Nana Akufo-Addo to shine rather all he does is speak English. Nigeria cleverly don't want to stand in the way.

You should be grateful you have our Vice-President attending though prestigious with the paraphernalia given it by the presidency in Abuja is not actually worth much in Nigeria politically except for things like this or attending funerals, generally representing the President of Nigeria in not so strategic matters.

Have you seen a US president attending all NATO meetings. Not at all. In fact it's on record in the days of President Olusegun Obasanjo he stormed out of meetings with other ECOWAS leaders and they still differed to him. In fact they scurried to Abuja whenever he called an emergency meeting on any issue. They needed him not the other way round. President John Kuffour then was always in Abuja like an errand boy. He owed his presidency to Abuja. If it was not for Nigeria Jerry Rawlings of blessed memory "wasn't going to hand over".

In international relations nations are not equals. Nations are respected real or perceived to the degree of their national power output be it industrial, economic, cultural, human/natural resources and military prowess not for their languages. You are not seriously deluded to think Ghana commands any significant weight in any of those categories. Ghana is a fine country. A country Nigeria respects for its rich heritage and people. However it is too small a country to command any weight except to be used as a pun in the game of geo-political power play against Nigeria to massage the egos of the big powers and multinational corporations outside of Africa.

Lagos State alone is the economy of at least 35 African countries combined Ghana included. So there's just no way Ghana can compete. Nigeria does not undermine Ghana, never has and never will. Nigeria does not need Ghana to shine but it does need Ghana like any other country for its people and huge economy.

It is not necessary to speak about Ghana's command of ECOMOG. If you are a soldier you should know better and not be silly and petty about Nigeria taking over command. The Ghanaian command was simply incompetent. It had no air cover, it lacked the men, material and equipment to hold and to advance. It's a non-starter to argue. Be grateful to Nigeria.

THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA HEADS TO GHANA TO REPRESENT PRESIDENT BUHARI

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will depart Abuja this morning for Accra, Ghana, to represent Nigeria at an Extraordinary Summit of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government deliberating on the political situation in Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea.
The meeting, which is coming as part of the resolutions reached at last week’s virtual meeting chaired by Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo, will review the report of the ECOWAS delegation dispatched to Quagadougou to meet with the military junta who recently seized power in Burkina Faso.

ECOWAS suspends Burkina Faso after military coup

ECOWAS needs innovation to solve instability in member states

The summit will be attended by regional leaders who will be considering imposing additional sanctions after the country was suspended from the regional body last week.
Last Monday, soldiers forced the removal of democratically elected President Roch March Kabore from office in a military coup. The military takeover of government in Burkina Faso follows the same occurrence in Mali and Guinea recently.
The President has been delegating the Vice President to represent Nigeria at a series of ECOWAS leaders’ summits on the issues of undemocratic, military takeover of governments in the region.
The Vice President will be accompanied by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Zubairu Dada, Presidential Special Adviser on Economic Matters, Dr. Adeyemi Dipeolu, himself also an Ambassador, and other top Nigerian diplomats.

President Buhari has only one year left on his presidency. Except he wants to leave a robust foreign policy legacy other than his one diplomatic and military intervention in The Gambia I doubt his advisers will want him to rock the boat in any way with what might turn out to be a costly foreign intervention. It is clear the President is already shifting some difficult policy issues to his successor in office.
