LÀGOS: NEWLY deployed General Officer Commanding (GOC) 81 Division Nigerian Army NA, Major General Lawrence Fejokwu has called for peaceful co-existence between the people of the ancient town and the military. This is even as he also seeks cooperation between the officers and men of the Nigeria Customs and other sister agencies within his jurisdiction. General Fejokwu made the call recently when he paid a courtesy visit to the Akran of Badary, His Royal Majesty De Wheno Aholu Menu Toyi 1 at his Palace and the Seme border Controller of Customs, Comptroller BM Jibo as part of his familiarization tour of his division respectively. While with the Akran of Badagry, Gen. Fejokwu noted that aside the tradition to visit the monarch as custodian of customs and tradtion of the people to seek peaceful co-existence between the military and the civilian populace, he being an illustrious son where tradtion and obeisances are held in high esteem, it would be out of place not pay homage to the monarch and receive the blessings of the highly reverred traditional ruler of the oldest town in the country. “The GOC therefore, thanked the Badagry Monarch for the warm reception accorded him and his team during the courtesy visit while praying for long life and peace in his domain during his reign.”



Reacting, “The Akran of Badagry thanked the GOC for the visit and expressed appreciation for the continuous support received from the Army units in Badagry. He said commanders of the units have been very effective in ensuring the maintenance of peace and tranquillity in Badagry; saying, this was evident during the #ENDSARS saga as they were able to bring the situation under control. The Badagry Monarch said there was no time the unit commanders ever disappointed him whenever he calls for their support. He therefore, prayed for the GOC and wished him a successful tenure
“In a similar vein, Major General Fejokwu paid a courtesy call on the Seme Border Area Comptroller of Customs BM Jibo where he commended the cordial relationship and synergy offered by the sister Service to the military. He said he is just one call away for any additional assistance or support as his office is opened for any assistance from the Army.”
“Recall that the GOC assumed office on February 24, 2021 and as customary in the military he has to visit formations and units to see things physically in order to improve the state of readiness of units and formations under the command. He was accompanied in the visit by the Commanders of 81 Div Provost Brig Gen A Garba, Division Military Intelligence Brigade Brig Gen A Yellow Duke, 55 Signal Brigade Brig Gen H Yanet among many other Principal Staff Officers and the Commanding Officers of 245 battalion and 15 Field Engineering Regiment.”

Personally Im impressed by the quality of this. Generally when I come across these sort of things I like to post them on Digg. I dont think this would be the best to submit though. I will be sure to submit something else though.
