The governor spoke at the defence retreat ‘Asaba 2022’ with the theme ‘Shaping the Armed Forces of Nigeria for Current and Future Security Challenges’ held in Asaba.

“It is my considered view that we can have all the sophisticated weaponry and excellent logistics, but without motivated and satisfied personnel, all our efforts will come to nought,” stated Mr Okowa. “It is, therefore, imperative that we place a premium on their welfare so that they will discharge their duties with utmost pride and enthusiasm”. jamb results

He commended the Chief of Defence Staff, Lucky Irabor, for his military accomplishments, describing him as “A great patriot who has made us proud in various ways through his faithful stewardship in the Nigerian Army.”

Mr Okowa further urged the military to strengthen its civil-military relations to enhance community information gathering.

“In addition to developing a technologically-driven security architecture for the country, the armed forces should make it a priority to proactively engage and partner with our communities,” the governor stressed.
