The Commander of the 32 Artillery Brigade, Brigadier General Justin Ifeanyi, gave the charge on Monday during the decoration ceremony held at the Owena Cantonment Officers’ Mess in Akure.
Speaking at the event, Ifeanyi described the promotion as not only a reward for past efforts but also a call to greater service.
He urged the officers to remain committed to discipline, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
"This promotion is not only a reward for past efforts but also a call to greater service. We encourage the officers to uphold the core values of the Nigerian Army and to lead by example in all their assignments," he noted.
He stressed the need for the officers to uphold the core values of the Nigerian Army and demonstrate exemplary leadership in all their assignments.
The Brigade Commander noted that four officers were elevated from the rank of Major to Lieutenant Colonel, describing the ceremony as a significant milestone for both the beneficiaries and the brigade.
He congratulated the newly promoted officers, saying their elevation was a testament to their hard work, resilience, and unwavering commitment to service.
He, however, reminded them that their new rank comes with increased responsibilities and expectations, urging them to remain steadfast and ready to take on more demanding leadership roles.
Ifeanyi also appreciated the spouses of the officers for their unwavering support, noting that their encouragement and understanding play a vital role in helping military personnel cope with the demands of service.
The newly decorated officers are Lieutenant Colonels A. Ornan, B.G. Oyinloye, I.N. Badamasi, and E. Agboola.
