Combat Ready: Army Renames South-East Military Exercise
for Yuletide Season
The authorities of the Nigerian Army wish to inform the general
public of the change of name of one of its annual training
exercises code named, “Exercise EGWU EKE” to ‘Exercise ATILOGWU
UDO’. The annual training exercise commenced in 2016 and has
consistently recorded remarkable successes since its
introduction.
The Exercise, which covers the South East region of the country,
is designed to combat criminal activities including kidnappings,
armed robbery, inter-cult and communal clashes among other sundry
crimes. All other information relative to the Exercise as contained
in the previous Press Statement and Press Conference issued by the
Army Headquarters remain unchanged.
The Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai
wishes to reiterate the commitment of the Nigerian Army in
protecting lives and properties of citizens particularly during
these ember months and the fast approaching Yuletide season.
He also wishes to further solicit the support and understanding
of all well-meaning Nigerians towards providing a well secured
environment for all and sundry.
