President Bola Tinubu addressed a group of newly commissioned officers at the Nigerian Defence Academy, urging them to uphold the Constitution and protect Nigerians.
In his remarks, Tinubu stressed the importance of loyalty to the nation’s founding legal document and the duty of the armed forces to safeguard the country’s security and stability.
The president reminded the officers that their responsibilities extend beyond battlefield readiness to include the broader protection of the nation’s democratic institutions.
His speech was part of the academy’s annual commissioning ceremony, a tradition that reinforces the military’s commitment to the rule of law and national unity.
As Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria relies on a disciplined and constitution‑conscious defence establishment to maintain peace and support the government’s development agenda.
