Major General Nuhu Angbazo on Monday took command as the General Officer Commanding 3 division Maxwell Khobe Cantonment in Rukuba, near Jos.

Our correspondent reports that General Angbazo who was until his appointment, the immediate past Chief of Civil-Military Affairs at the Army Headquarters took over from Major General Benson Akinroluyo who has been posted as the new theatre Commander for Operation Lafiya Dole.

Speaking at the occasion Angbazo reiterated his commitment in restoring confidence of the citizens within his area of responsibility and stressed that, “we are going to continue to engage the civil society in ways that is enshrined in our constitution, we are to provide the enabling environment and ensure security of lives and properties in every situation we find ourselves and follow global best practices.”

He said “I came from the department of Civil-Military Affairs, Nigerian Army headquarters Abuja, it is very clear the intention and vision of the Chief of Army Staff is to have a very professional and responsible Nigerian Army and that is what we will continue to do.”

Speaking earlier, Akinroluyo while summarising his three months as GOC said, “I took over on August 3 and General Alkali was killed September 3, that was the problem we were battling with from that period till his remains were later discovered. Shortly after his burial, I was posted out, so it is as if I have only spent the whole time in the search and rescue for late General Alkali. But like I have always said, there will be a defining moment for every command or commander and that was a period that we had to show what we had to offer.”
