The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Gwabin Musa, has congratulated the Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Badaru, on the occasion of his 63rd birthday.
In a goodwill message issued on behalf of officers, men, and women of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, General Musa described the Minister as a visionary leader whose humility, patriotism, and commitment to national service have strengthened Nigeria’s defence and security architecture.
He commended Alhaji Badaru for his steadfast support, wise counsel, and exemplary leadership, noting that these qualities continue to inspire the military in carrying out its constitutional responsibilities.
According to the CDS, the Minister has played a key role in fostering synergy among the Services and defence institutions, thereby improving operational effectiveness and boosting the morale of personnel across various theatres of operation.
“His leadership style is not only a source of encouragement to the Armed Forces but also to the entire nation,” General Musa stated.
While rejoicing with the Minister on his birthday, the CDS prayed for his continued good health, divine wisdom, and strength to serve the country and humanity with distinction.
The Armed Forces, through General Musa, extended warm wishes to the Defence Minister for many more fulfilling years.
