He appreciated the Nasarawa State Government, traditional institutions, and community leaders for their support, particularly in intelligence sharing to enhance security.

The event featured cultural performances showcasing Nigeria’s rich heritage, a tug-of-war contest, and the presentation of awards to six outstanding soldiers.
