The Nigerian Army has deployed 87 newly trained soldiers to boost security operations across Operation FANSAN YAMMA. The troops, all members of the 90 Regular Intake, graduated after completing Exercise Shining Star X/26 at the 1 Division Training School, Dalet Barracks, Kawo, Kaduna.
The graduation ceremony held on Friday. Special Guest of Honour was the General Officer Commanding 1 Division Nigerian Army and Commander, Sector 1 Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Major General Abubakar Sadique Muhammad Wase. He was represented by the Chief of Staff, 1 Division, Brigadier General TM Opurum.
Why The Army Trained This Batch
Brigadier General Opurum said Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, personally approved the training. The goal is simple. Strengthen Army formations, sharpen operational readiness and build resilience, teamwork and professionalism among troops heading into active theatres.
These 87 soldiers now head straight into the various theatres of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, the joint military operation battling terrorism and banditry across Nigeria’s North West. The timing matters. Troops under the same operation have spent recent days on the offensive in Kaduna and Katsina states, rescuing kidnap victims and recovering weapons from armed groups.
The Nigerian Army has been steadily rotating fresh manpower into that operation as pressure on troops in the North West keeps climbing. Every new intake means more boots on ground for a force already stretched thin across multiple flashpoints.
