34 infantry generals were withdrawn from the service of the Nigerian army on Friday, May 22, at the Jaji Military Cantonment in Kaduna State.

The officers comprise 20 Majors-General and 14 Brigadiers-General, who retired between 2005 and 2015.

In his valedictory speech, former Director, Training, Nigerian Army, retired Major-General Joseph Shoboiki, expressed appreciation for the gesture and services the gallant men had rendered to their fatherland and pledged that the retired officers will remain committed to the service of Nigeria.

Shoboiki admonished the serving military personnel to remain focused, committed to their service, and exhibit total loyalty to the constituted authorities.

“Your loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria can best be given through vigilance and security consciousness.

“You must continue to demonstrate total commitment to your duty of defending our dear country.
“These values are essential if you must continue to uphold and discharge assigned constitutional responsibilities and sustain our nascent democracy,'' he said.

He also expressed conviction that the Nigerian military will overcome the current security challenges in the country, and urged the retired generals to continue to support the military.
