The Nigerian Army has expanded its combat capabilities by creating new divisions and units to enhance operational responsiveness to the nation's changing security threats. This decision, announced by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, came during the graduation ceremony of soldiers who completed the Advanced Infantry Training Programme, also known as **Exercise RESTORE HOPE X**.
The expansion was approved by President Bola Tinubu as part of ongoing restructuring efforts to bolster the Nigerian Army's effectiveness. Shaibu emphasized that many of the newly graduated soldiers will form the core of these new formations, embodying the skills and discipline gained during their training. He urged the soldiers to maintain professionalism, mental agility, and technological proficiency, while adapting to emerging threats and adhering to the highest standards of discipline, respect for the rule of law, and human rights.
The new divisions and units aim to optimize force disposition and improve the Army's ability to respond to evolving security challenges.
