Indeed, the Nigerian Army under the effective leadership of Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai is the peoples’ army.
In Abuja, the Garrison Command said the exercise was in line with the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen TY Buratai’s design to encourage Civil/Military Relations.
“It is therefore expected that the exercise will enhance existing Civil-Military relations between the command and our host community” the Garrison said.
