The Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, has assured the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji, of continued support and intervention in the infrastructural development of the college.

Mr Lagbaja gave the assurance when he received the commandant of AFCSC, AVM Hassan Alhaji, at the army headquarters, in Abuja.

Army spokesman Onyema Nwachukwu disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

Mr Lagbaja congratulated the commandant on his appointment and appreciated the existing partnership between the college and the army. 

He said the army under his command would continue to support the college, especially in electricity supply and accommodation, to realise its objectives.

Over the years, the army chief said the college had lived up to expectations in producing well-trained officers for the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the army.

He added that the college’s activities had positively impacted the operational engagements of the army, both at home and abroad.

Mr Lagbaja said the Nigerian Army cyber warfare command would offer free services to enhance the integrated Information Communication Technology status of the AFCSC college in training exercises and administration of students.
