The Nigerian Army’s 3 Brigade recently honoured 22 Senior Non‑Commissioned Officers for 35 years of dedicated and meritorious service to the nation.
The ceremony, held at the brigade’s headquarters, recognised the long‑standing commitment of the soldiers who have spent more than three decades in uniform. Each officer was presented with a certificate of appreciation for their unwavering dedication.
Serving 35 years in the armed forces is a rare achievement, reflecting a career of discipline, leadership and loyalty. The awards underscore the army’s commitment to recognising those who have devoted their lives to national security.
Senior Non‑Commissioned Officers play a vital role in maintaining the operational readiness of the Nigerian Army. Their experience and mentorship are essential to the training and welfare of junior ranks.
The 3 Brigade’s tribute highlights the importance of long‑term service and the value placed on experience within Nigeria’s military establishment.
