In his goodwill message, Brigade Commander, Six Brigade Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Kingsley Chidebere Uwa lauded Governor Agbu Kefas for his unwavering support to the Army which has significantly eased their operations and improved security within the state.
In a sermon title: “The loyalty of a soldier as a catalyst for spiritual transformation, Chaplain, Six Brigade Nigerian Army Chapel, Major Reverend S. Samaila said loyalty is an individuals’ devotion to a country, philosophy, group, or person.
