The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division Nigerian Army, Major-General Taoreed Lagbaja, has honoured four soldiers serving in the Division for their diligence while performing their duties.
The honoured soldiers, Staff Sergeant Amodu Simon, Sergeant Oyinbo Emmanuel, Corporal Mbanaso Isaac and Private Ibrahim Lawal, who were honoured during an event held on Tuesday 2 August at Abakpa Cantonment Enugu, each received a brand new motorcycle in addition to Letters of Commendation from the GOC.
While making the presentation to the soldiers, General Lagbaja described their conduct as commendable and exemplary and noted that the soldiers’ assiduousness in ensuring the hygiene of the various portions of the cantonment assigned to them was impressive. He charged other soldiers of the Division to emulate the exemplary conduct of the honourees.
The GOC disclosed that the four motorcycles presented to the soldiers were a symbol of appreciation for their outstanding conduct. He, therefore, enjoined them not to relent in their duties even if they thought nobody was observing.
Eighteen-Eleven Media reports that each of the four awarded soldiers was drawn from various units of the Division and was picked after a careful observation of their conduct over a period.
