The Nigerian Army is gearing up for its highly anticipated Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Annual Conference 2024, scheduled to take place from December 16 to 19, 2024, at the Army Headquarters Command Officers’ Mess 1, Asokoro, Abuja.
Chaired by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, the conference presents a unique opportunity for the Nigerian Army to assess its kinetic and non-kinetic operations, with a special focus on evaluating its commitment to maintaining operational effectiveness.
During the conference, participants will engage in rigorous brainstorming sessions to evaluate ongoing efforts in counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, anti-banditry, and other security operations. They will identify successes, address challenges, and propose improvements to enhance operational efficiency.
A major highlight of the conference will be the development of a strategic roadmap for 2025. This forward-looking initiative aims to set clear objectives and informed projections that will guide the Nigerian Army’s actions in tackling diverse security challenges across Nigeria.
The conference will feature comprehensive presentations on training, administration, logistics, and other crucial activities, showcasing current achievements and proposing innovative strategies to enhance the Army’s operational capabilities.
The event will bring together high-ranking military leaders, including Principal Staff Officers, Corps Commanders, Formation Commanders, and Operations Commanders. The conference is expected to climax with the commissioning of the Nigerian Army Welfare Scheme project in Idu, Abuja.
The COAS Annual Conference 2024 is a major event in the Nigerian Army’s calendar, and its outcomes are expected to have a profound impact on the Army’s operational effectiveness and its ability to tackle national security challenges.
