The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Waidi Shaibu, has said that the Nigerian Army is making sustained investments to improve teaching methodology, classroom aesthetics, and the deployment of modern technology to provide a world-class learning environment at the Nigerian Military School (NMS), Zaria.
General Shaibu said this while addressing students of the school during an official visit on Saturday.
The COAS reaffirmed the Army’s commitment to sustaining high standards in military education and training, describing the NMS as a “sacred foundation” that shapes the students’ contribution to national development.
He charged students to uphold discipline, academic excellence and focus, noting that while some of the students would progress to further military training and eventually serve as officers of the Armed Forces, others would proceed to tertiary institutions.
“Wherever you find yourselves in the future, you will be different from your peers because of the discipline, enthusiasm and leadership values instilled in you here.
The COAS also urged the students to uphold the school’s long-standing tradition of academic excellence, particularly its past achievements in inter-school quiz competitions, stressing the importance of hard work and commitment to studies.
He said: “You have emerged through a rigorous selection process and have been introduced to a world-class learning environment. Everything is in place for you to succeed, and you must make the best use of this opportunity.”
The Army Chief commended the officers, soldiers and instructors of the school for their dedication to grooming the students, describing them as custodians of the nation’s future leadership.
“These young men are our future. Ensure they are properly guided, protected and kept on the trajectory of excellence,” he added.
