DHQ inaugurates ‘Change Begins With Me’ for Armed Forces

The Defence authorities have commenced a sensitisation campaign on value system orientation for personnel of the Armed Forces with the theme “the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Yesterday, today and the Future.”

The Acting Director in charge of Defence Transformation, Commodore Shuwa Mohammed, said during a press conference in Abuja on Monday that the sensitisation campaign would be conducted in two phases and was expected to cover 16 centers from November 22, 2016 to February 17, 2017.

According to him, the exercise  would be conducted in collaboration with ‘A’ Team Unique Professionals Limited  in the six geopolitical zones of the country.

He said the campaigns would involve town hall meetings, lectures and presentations, and seminars for the men and officers of the military.

Mohammed said the exercise was designed to “instill discipline, ethics, value system, serve delivery, attitudinal change and patriotism as well as promote selfless service for the common good and destiny of the Nigerian in line with the Federal Government’s Change Begins with me reorientation mantra.”

He said the initiative was also aimed at educating and enlightening members of the military to embrace the values of accountability and  integrity.

He stressed that a soldier with the right attitude would be loyal, patriotic and do better in the field of battle.
