During the inauguration, President Tinubu praised the men and officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces as heroes of Nigeria. He pointed out the remarkable service of the Nigerian military to the nation and assured continued commitment from his administration to improve the welfare of the Nigerian Army.
“You are our heroes, and I thank you for what you have been doing for this country.

Knowing that the federal government is always ready to provide what the troops need is essential for winning battles,” he said.
