Yusuf said the period he spent in the division was wonderful, interesting and eventful.

The Army officer recalled that more training activities were introduced in the division under his watch to enhance personnel’s professionalism and regimentation.

“In this regard, I am in no doubt that my successor, being a purposeful individual, will improve on existing tempo to make all of us better personnel of the Nigerian Army.

“It is worthy to state that the resilient commitment and conduct as well as professionalism during the NADCEL 2019 hosted by this division was highly commendable.

“You must endeavour to maintain this feat: take your profession more seriously and desist from unwholesome activities capable of bringing yourself and the Nigerian Army to disrepute.

“I must state that I enjoyed all the support and cooperation you all accorded me throughout my tenure. I attribute successes recorded during this period to God Almighty and to your commitment to duty.

“If you have chosen to do otherwise, the story would have been different. I urge you all to remain focus, to uplift the image of this formation and the Army,” he said.

Irefin pledged to improve on the gains recorded under his predecessor, saying he would live up to the expectations required of him.
