The Nigerian Army says the complex security challenges faced across the country demand strong and authentic leadership at all levels.
The general officer commanding, 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Mayirenso Saraso, stated this at a week-long ‘Operations Planning Cadre 2025’ for officers in the division’s area of responsibility.
Mr Saraso, the commander of Sector 1 of Operations Fansan Yamma North-West, said, “This cadre is a crucial platform designed to strengthen our operational planning capabilities while enhancing the leadership skills of our junior commanders.”
According to him, this also aligns with the chief of army staff’s command philosophy, which is “to consolidate the transformation of the Nigerian Army towards bequeathing a well-motivated and combat-ready force that can effectively discharge its constitutional responsibilities within a joint and multi-agency environment.”
Mr Sarasoo said the philosophy aptly captured the leadership role at all levels of command, particularly at the junior level.
Mr Saraso said, “Junior leaders such as platoon commanders, company commanders, and non-commissioned officers are often at the forefront of our operations.”
The GOC said their ability to make sound decisions underscored the vital role of junior commanders in ensuring missions’ success and operational efficiency.
He, therefore, said investing in their development was not just necessary but essential for achieving operational effectiveness.
Mr Saraso said the cadre allowed participants to refine their leadership and planning skills through interactive sessions, practical exercises, and shared experiences.
He said the training was being conducted in collaboration with other security agencies in the state.
Mr Saraso added, “In a joint environment like ours, where coordination between different services and agencies is crucial, our operations no longer exist in isolation but require collaboration across multiple domains and partners.
“As commanders, we must be able to synchronise our efforts, share
intelligence and make informed decisions in real-time.”

The GOC said the initiative significantly strengthened inter-agency cooperation and fostered a unified approach to security operations.
“The complex security challenges we face today demand strong and authentic leadership at all levels, particularly at the junior command level, where tactical decisions are made in real-time.
“Your ability to lead effectively, make quick and informed decisions, and coordinate seamlessly with other security agencies is critical to achieving our collective security objectives.
“This cadre, therefore, serves as an important platform for developing
these leadership qualities through practical training, operational planning
exercises, and inter-agency collaboration,“ he said.

SSS Arrests Former-AGF Malami After Release From Kuje Prison
SSS arrests former-AGF Malami after release from Kuje prison. The SSS did not respond to media men’s inquiry concerning Mr Malami’s arrest on Monday.
Nigeria’s State Security Service has arrested the federation’s former Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami, shortly after he was released from Kuje Prison after fulfilling his bail conditions.
Mr Malami was earlier remanded in Kuje prison following his arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission alongside his wife and son, for alleged corruption.
A Federal High Court last Wednesday granted Mr Malami, his wife, and his son bail in the sum of ₦500 million each, with two sureties each.
However, SSS operatives arrested Mr Malami’s son, Abdulaziz at Kuje Correctional Centre last Friday after he was released from prison following the fulfillment of his bail conditions.

There are indications that Mr Malami is being probed by the SSS on allegations relating to national security concerns.
The SSS did not respond to Peoples Gazette’s inquiry concerning Mr Malami’s arrest on Monday.
However, a trending video on X showed the moment of Mr Malami’s arrest by the SSS.
SSS Amends Charge Against Sowore In Alleged Cyberstalking
SSS amends charge against Sowore in Alleged Cyberstalking. The SSS lawyer, Akinlolu Kehinde, informed Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, shortly after the case was called for commencement of trial.
The State Security Service, on Monday, amended the criminal charge it filed against Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, and co-defendants over an alleged false claim against President Bola Tinubu.
The SSS lawyer, Akinlolu Kehinde, informed Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, shortly after the case was called for commencement of trial.
Mr Kehinde then pleaded that the two-count amended charge be read to Mr Sowore, who is the sole defendant in the fresh charge.
SSS Amends Charge Against Sowore
Though Mr Sowore, X, and Meta (Facebook) Inc. were earlier named as the first, second, and third defendants, respectively, in the amended charge, the names of the second and third defendants were dropped.
Counsel to Mr Sowore, Marshal Abubakar, did not oppose Mr Kehinde’s application that the charge be read to his client for him to take his plea.
After the counts were read to Mr Sowore, he pleaded not guilty.
Mr Sowore, the 2019 and 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, is being charged for alleged cyberstalking of Mr Tinubu using his X handle and Facebook page.
