Tukur Buratai, said the army medical corps paraded brilliant men and officers capable of addressing medical challenges facing the army. 

The pull-out parade was held at parade ground of the 68 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital in the Yaba area of Lagos. Major Gen Henry Edet who was representing the chief of army staff urged the officers and soldiers to dedicate themselves to serving the nation and giving all their best. He commended the brilliance of the retiring officers and added that “what they have contributed positively to the Nigerian Army will never be forgotten
