Earlier, the COAS in his address to declare open the Regimental Sergeant Majors (RSM) convention 2024 sponsored by the Army Headquarters Department of Army Administration,  said RSMs are critical stakeholders and mouthpiece for younger ones and repositories of wisdom and knowledge in units and formations.

He said, the theme of the convention which is “traditions, customs and ethics of the Nigerian Army as the bedrock of a well-trained and highly motivated force” was carefully selected to equip RSMs with knowledge and skills to effectively do their jobs.

The COAS who urged the participants to be the torch bearers who should exhibit discipline and professionalism also stressed that, “The Regimental Sergeant Majors are critical stakeholders in the Nigerian Army’s administrative and command arrangement. They are generally referred to as fathers of our units, not because of age, but because of knowledge borne out of years of training and experience garnered along the path to their current status.”
