The Nigerian Army has appointed a new commander for the Onitsha Military Cantonment, Colonel M.B. Yakubu, who takes over from Colonel A.K. Mohammed.
The outgoing commander has been deployed for an advanced military course in Pakistan.
The official handover ceremony was held recently at the Officers’ Mess within the Onitsha Military Barracks.
In his farewell address, Col. A.K. Mohammed described his successor as a seasoned and capable officer.
He expressed confidence in Col. Yakubu’s ability to succeed in the role and urged all officers within the cantonment to give him their full support.
“I am confident that Col. Yakubu will deliver excellently. I ask all officers and personnel to extend the same cooperation and loyalty to him as they did to me,” Mohammed stated.
