Army Chief Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu rolled out a heartfelt Christmas bash Tuesday at 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital Kaduna for sick and wounded-in-action soldiers, celebrating their grit and the medics nursing them back—via rep Brig.-Gen. Timothy Opurum—under his “Soldier First” mantra that puts troops’ welfare front and center.
Shaibu hailed these bravehearts as Nigeria’s unbreakable spirit, vowing no one’s forgotten amid ops dangers, while blessing families and caregivers with renewed strength for 2026 unity—echoed by acting CMD Brig.-Gen. Godwin Ogoh’s nod to their sacrifices and NAOWA 1 Division Chair Dr Halima Tafida-Wase’s gift handouts plus vows of endless support.
The festive vibe wrapped with cultural dances and awards, a timely Yuletide recharge honoring selfless service that safeguards the nation—proving Army family bonds run deep.
