While congratulating the officers, Omozoje reminded them that “to whom much is given, much is expected’’.

“Promotion comes from God alone; so I want to urge the newly promoted officers to work and pray harder.
“I want to urge you to continue to work hard and not be found wanting, ” he said.


One of the newly promoted officers who spoke with Naija TODAY News, expressed his profound gratitude to God, the chief of Army staff and the GOC 2 Division.
