In his closing remarks, the Chief of Army Staff,  Lt.- Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, said the  championship was designed to enhance physical fitness and promote comradeship among Nigerian Army personnel.

Lagbaja was represented by the Commandant, Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Maj.-Gen. John Ochai.

He said the event was  in line with his command philosophy, which is:  ‘To transform  NA into a well-trained, equipped and highly motivated force towards achieving our constitutional responsibilities within a joint environment’.

Lagbaja said,”There is no other human activity other than eating food that is beneficial to the person as physical training, physical training enhances physical fitness.

“For us in the Nigerian Army, physical fitness and mental well-being are paramount, because an army that is not physically fit cannot succeed in operation and cannot achieve its constitutional mandates.”

He encouraged the personnel to always give their best in making sure they were physically fit.

“You should encourage your wives, children and other dependents in the barracks to imbibe healthy habits.

“I believe the championship has improved the physical fitness and mental capacity of our troops that participated in it.

“I  urge you all to showcase your talents and strive hard to make your formations and indeed the Nigerian Army proud, “Lagbaja said.(NAN)
