Gen Abdullahi gave the admonition on Monday 5 July 2021 in Benin, during his familiarisation visit to Nigerian Army Cantonment Ekehaun. He stressed that commitment and discipline which is the bedrock of any military should be the watchword of the troops while discharging military assignment.
He noted that the Nigerian Army is a professional Army that is guided by protocols that are consistent with national security.
He added that; these protocols are intertwined with the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Farouk Yahaya’s vision which is "a Professional Nigerian Army Ready to Accomplish Assigned Missions Within a Joint Environment in Defence of Nigeria”.
