Commander of Training and Doctrine of the Nigeria Army, Major-General Kevin Aligbe stated this at the 2024 Lieutenant to Captain practical promotion examination in Jos, the Plateau State capital, North-Central Nigeria.
The Lieutenant to Captain Practical examination is designed to assess the proficiency of officers for higher responsibilities and Major-General Aligbe while addressing them said the exercise is aimed at assessing their knowledge in the command and tactical deployment of a mechanised infantry company in all phases of war especially with the current security challenges bedeviling the country.
