The Chief of Defence Civil-Military Relations at the Defence Headquarters, Rear Admiral Olusanya Bankole, has encouraged Nigerians not to fear uniformed personnel, emphasizing that their duty is to protect citizens.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, Bankole stated, “People should not feel intimidated when they see uniformed personnel; they are there to safeguard you. This awareness is instilled right from the depot in Zaria, the NDA, and the NDC.”
“The military career is a noble career; the military career is to help the society; apart from protecting the territorial integrity of the society, we are protecting humans,” he said.
He said that with the trajectory that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has set now, the military will earn its respect from the populace.
