“His approach to enhancing counter-insurgency operations and prioritizing military personnel welfare underscores a commitment to both operational success and ethical governance,” Bobai added.
He remarked that General Musa has initiated various social welfare packages that not only uplift military personnel but also create a foundation of trust and cooperation between civilians and the military
“By advocating for adherence to human rights standards during military operations, he works towards a more harmonious relationship between security forces and Nigerian citizens.
“Your confidence, poise, and insightful responses made us proud. You’re an exemplary leader and an inspiration to many,” Bobai said.
