“The professional conduct of the Armed Forces during the elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states underscores your role as a guardian of our constitutional order and democracy precepts.
”In this regard, the Nigerian Army must remain completely non-partisan but vigilantly pro-democracy.”
“We also note with great satisfaction the many civilian-military projects across the country, some of which will be commissioned during this conference.”

Following these achievements the army notes the importance of evaluation and will use the benefits from this conference to initiate new strategies to deliver its constitutional duties, the Lieutenant said.
