Abuja – The Nigerian Army on Thursday inaugurated the office of the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) for better service delivery.
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, said that the office would enhance better service delivery.
Buratai was represented by the Chief of Administration, Army Headquarters, Maj.-Gen. Adamu Abubakar.
“We are going back to regimentation and professionalisation of Army.
“it is in that respect COAS deemed it fit to authorised the construction of this office, which hitherto was not there before.
“We know that all the soldiers are working very hard to become warrant officers and only a few of them can make it, this is the pride of every soldier,’’ he said.
Buratai enjoined all the soldiers to work hard and to ensure that the purpose for building the office was achieved.
He enjoined the RSM to also put more effort in his work and ensure that the soldiers performed optimally.
In his remarks, the RSM, Army Warrant Officer (AWO), Agbo Nwabuize, expressed delight that it was the COAS that inaugurated his office.
He added that the office was more sophisticated than the one he built for him in the barracks.
“My office is the finest in the of whole Africa. I have travelled far and wide I have not seen this type before apart from where I have not been to.
“ I have nothing to offer more than prayer and with my initiative to carry the soldiers along.
“The escorts and drivers office are equally built to enable us perform our duties without much stress,’’ Nwabuize said.
Nwabueze said that the office was just a little of what the COAS had been doing in order to ensure effective and efficient service performances.
