The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) of Nigeria has assured the public that there is no leadership vacuum within the Nigerian Army, despite the absence of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, who is currently undergoing medical treatment abroad. This statement comes amid concerns about the Chief’s temporary absence and its impact on the leadership of the army.
Lagbaja’s Medical Treatment Confirmed
The DHQ confirmed that Major General Lagbaja is receiving medical attention abroad but did not provide specific details regarding his health condition. The statement emphasized that his absence is being properly managed and that his duties have been delegated to competent senior officers who are continuing to oversee the daily operations of the army.
No Disruption in Army Operations
According to the DHQ, there is no disruption in the Nigerian Army’s operations, and all military activities continue to run smoothly. The DHQ reassured the public and military personnel that the army’s chain of command remains intact, with senior officers fully in charge during Lagbaja’s recovery. This ensures that military strategies, national security efforts, and other critical operations are unaffected by the COAS’s absence.
Temporary Delegation of Responsibilities
In Major General Lagbaja’s absence, his responsibilities have been temporarily handed over to senior officers who are well-equipped to handle his duties. The DHQ made it clear that these officers have been entrusted with leading the army, maintaining discipline, and ensuring operational efficiency. This delegation of authority is intended to ensure the smooth running of military affairs.
DHQ’s Assurance to the Public
The Defence Headquarters assured the public that there is no cause for alarm, as the army remains strong and well-organized. The military command is working collectively to address any challenges that may arise while the COAS is on medical leave. The DHQ also stated that the army leadership will continue to prioritize the safety and security of Nigeria during this period.
Anticipated Return of the Chief of Army Staff
While the DHQ did not provide a timeline for Major General Lagbaja’s return, they assured that he is recovering well and will resume his duties once his medical treatment is completed. The DHQ has expressed confidence in the smooth continuation of operations until his return, reaffirming their commitment to the Nigerian people.
