He said the conference was to awaken all commanders to the reality that they must ensure total victory against all adversaries.
The COAS assured Nigerians that the army has competent and committed personnel to win the war against all criminals, so as to create the enabling environment for good governance and economic prosperity.
Lagbaja told officers and soldiers to be courageous in the fight against insecurity, adding that any fear on their part would embolden the criminals.
“I must, however, remind you all of the need to always be ingenious and courageous because the adversaries we fight are emboldened by weakness; thus, we cannot afford to show a jot of it.
“Fear is a major currency with which our adversaries trade, and we must turn the tide against them and out-trade them in their currency,” he added.
