Ali Nani Appointed As GOC Army's 8 Division In Borno, Replaces Okonkwo by sunnyb0b0(m): 8:09pm On Jul 14, 2016 |
Brigadier General Ali Nani has been appointed as the new General Officer Commanding GOC, 8 Division, Nigeria Army in Borno State. General Nani takes the mantle of leadership from the outgoing Acting GOC, Brigadier General Chukwuemeka Okonkwo, who stepped down Thursday. In a statement signed by the acting spokesperson of 7 Division NA, Lieutenant Wenke Tonye, on Thursday in Maiduguri said Mr. Okonkwo asked the officers and soldiers to accord the same cooperation to the incoming GOC. In his response, Mr. Nani commended the outgoing GOC for steering the affairs of the division in its fight to crush terrorists and insurgents out of Borno State. He also appealed to officers and soldiers of the division to work as a family and endeavor to render useful advice to him always in order to serve them and the Nigeria Army effectively. Mr. Nani added that achieving the desired results would only be possible with troops' commitment, professionalism and hard work while executing their assigned tasks. The new GOC promised to work with the commanders' various security agencies, including GOC 7 Division of Nigeria Army, 79 Composite Group, Nigerian Air Force and others to flush the remnants of Boko Haram insurgents in the State and northeast at large. Mr. Okonkwo expressed his appreciation and gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai for giving him the opportunity to serve in that capacity while thanking God for seeing him through despite the numerous challenges in the division. http://saharareporters.com/2016/07/14/brigadier-general-ali-nani-appointed-general-commanding-armys-8-division-borno-state 1 Like

sunnyb0b0:The appointment of a Northerner as the GOC of the newly formed 8th Division should not cause a ruckus. What I find intresting is that Borno State alone now has two Divisions of the Nigerian Army. 7th Div at Maiduguri and 8th Div at Lake Chad. This is expectedly so because of the current counter insurgency operation going on in that theatre. What this also means is that Borno is now the first state in Nigeria that has a combined Military units with the strength of an Army Corps 15 Likes |
