Nigerian ArmyThe Board of the Army War College (AWC) has approved the promotion of 30 senior officers of the Nigerian Army to the next ranks, Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai has said.
Following the approval, 25 officers from the rank of Colonel are to be elevated to Brigadier General rank, while five other officers from the rank of Lt. Colonel will be elevated to Colonel.
But the approval would be subject to ratification by the Army Council, being the Army’s highest decision-making body.
The development came barely three weeks after the Army Council approved the promotion of no fewer than 173 officers to the next ranks.
The council said the promotion was in recognition of hard work, dedication to service of fatherland, as well as operational capabilities of the beneficiaries.
Buratai, who disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, in his opening remarks at the graduation ceremony of Army War College, Course 1, 2017, listed 30 Army graduates among the 33 course graduates as sole beneficiaries.
