I APPRECIATE YOUR SACRIFICE — Commandant AWCN to Posted-Out Officers

The Commandant, Army War College Nigeria (AWCN), Major General Umar Alkali, has charged officers posted out of the College to sustain the values of excellence, dedication and professionalism as they assume their new responsibilities.

Major General Alkali gave the charge during a send-off ceremony organised in honour of the outgoing Directing Staff (DS) and administrative staff officers of the College. He commended them for their outstanding contributions and the immense value they added to the institution during their tour of duty.

The Commandant particularly appreciated the Directing Staff for their role in shaping the minds and professional development of participants at the College.

“I have been so lucky to have a set of wonderful personnel who have added value to the College. To the DS, you are the ones who mould minds, and I really appreciate your sacrifices. You have all indeed made a mark,” he said.

He urged the outgoing officers to remain good ambassadors of the AWCN wherever their new assignments take them. He also encouraged them to replicate the same level of commitment, hard work, and dedication in their new units.

Major General Alkali further advised the officers to continue to regard the College as their home and remain committed to contributing to its growth and development even after their departure.

Giving the Vote of Thanks on behalf of the outgoing officers, Brigadier General JC Mbanefo, a distinguished member of the College faculty, described their experience at AWCN as both rewarding and memorable.

He expressed appreciation to the Commandant for his inspirational leadership and commended the Deputy Commandant/Director of Studies, as well as the entire faculty, for creating a strong sense of family and camaraderie throughout their tour of duty.

Brigadier General Mbanefo also thanked the entire College community for its support and contributions to the successful completion of their tour of duty in the College.

Among the officers posted out were Brigadier Generals JC Mbanefo, AO Odubiyi, AA Sambo and S Abdullahi, as well as Captains S Abubakar and A Sani.

The ceremony culminated in the presentation of gift items by the Commandant to the outgoing officers as tokens of appreciation for their dedicated service and contributions to Army War College Nigeria.

MILITARY LOGISTICS SUPPORT INDISPENSABLE FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS — Major General Adeyinka Tells AWCN Participants

It was a homecoming for the Chief of Logistics (COLOG), Nigerian Army, Major General Adekunle Adeyinka, a pioneer Directing Staff of the Army War College Nigeria (AWCN), as he returned to the College to deliver a lecture on “Military Logistics Support” to participants of Course 10/2026.

Delivering the lecture to operational-level leaders on 21 August 2026, Major General Adeyinka explained that logistics encompasses virtually every sphere of human activity, spanning the military, civil and commercial sectors, and supporting activities ranging from e-commerce to humanitarian operations.

He noted that military logistics support is indispensable to the successful conduct of operations, as it involves the planning, coordination, and ex*****on of the movement, maintenance, and sustainment of personnel, equipment, and supplies. According to him, military logistics serves as the unseen force behind the frontline, ensuring that troops have the resources and support required to accomplish their missions effectively and efficiently.

The COLOG emphasised that a strong strategy without effective tactics and logistics is likely to fail, just as excellent tactics and logistics without a clear strategy are unlikely to achieve the desired outcome.

Major General Adeyinka cautioned the participants against treating logistics as an afterthought, stressing that logistics must be an integral component of every organisation and its operations.

He further emphasised that the true value of logistics lies in constant practice, noting that it is the art that drives the science and that people learn best through practical experience. He urged logisticians to think outside the box and remain innovative in meeting the needs of troops, particularly in demanding operational environments.

In his appreciation to the COLOG for the lecture, the Commandant, AWCN, Major General Umar Alkali, described Major General Adeyinka as a thoroughbred and passionate logistician par excellence. He expressed appreciation to the COLOG for taking time out of his busy schedule to return to the College and share his wealth of logistics and operational experience with the participants.

The lecture provided the participants with valuable insights into the critical role of logistics in translating military strategy and tactics into successful operational outcomes.
