He is Brigadier General Ibikunle Ajose, according to a statement issued in Sokoto by Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Shittu, director of Army Public Relations of the Division.

Brig. Gen. Ajose, at the handing and taking over ceremony held at the Division’s Headquarters, Giginya Cantonment, Sokoto, took over from his predecessor, Major General Godwin Mutkut, who was posted to Nigerian Army Heritage and Future Centre as the director of Military Technology.

While delivering his farewell address at 26 Battalion Parade Ground Giginya Barracks, Major General Mutkut eulogised the officers and soldiers of the Division for their unalloyed cooperation and support during his tenure, charging them to remain committed and disciplined.

The former GOC said the Division’s area of responsibility, AOR, is not strange to his successor as a one-time Brigade Commander.
