Group Praise Chief Of Army Staff, Gen Shuaibu For Professionalism .

The Young Professionals of Nigeria have strongly praised Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, along with the joint military forces, following highly successful rescue operations across the country.

The body in a communique issued and signed by the leader pastor John Desmond and the secretary Niyi Ogundele at the end of 13th National Congress on the state of Nation Nigeria and political development praised the army chief for deriving the security challenges in Nigeria and take a quick measure that has led to many rescue of citizens either kidnapped or trapped by the insurgents.

We praised the effort of the chief of Army Staff for leading Nigeria Army at this critical time.
We commend the men and women of Nigeria military forces for their collective decision to deal with insurgents and clear the Nation of criminal elements.

We acknowledged the following successful rescue operations of Nigeria military forces under the leadership of the chief of Army Staff, General Waidi Shaibu.

The Oriire (Oyo State) School Rescue: In July 2026, a meticulously planned multi-agency operation successfully rescued 44 abducted pupils and teachers from the Old Oyo National Park. The hostages had been held by bandits for 56 days. We praised the tactical decision-making that allowed the victims to be brought back unharmed without ransom payments.

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Rescue: In early September 2026, joint security forces successfully tracked down and rescued 15 kidnapped NYSC members.

We also commend the Army Chief’s command philosophy focusing on advanced intelligence, surveillance, and joint operational readiness, which has heavily disrupted criminal networks and logistics chains in vulnerable areas.
This philosophy has led to the following successful Anti-Banditry gains.

June 20, 2026 (Kangarwa, Borno State): Troops of Operation Hadin Kai forced ISWAP terrorists to flee during an offensive in the Lake Chad region, allowing over 47 captives—mostly women and children—to escape.
North-East: Operation HADIN KAI focused on degrading insurgents, neutralizing hundreds of fighters, and freeing dozens of hostages alongside mass surrenders.

North-Central: Operation SAVANNAH SHIELD led large-scale rescues, notably freeing over 300 individuals mostly consisting of women and children from the Kainji Lake National Park area.
In August alone, official military reports highlight that August alone accounted for 610 rescued civilian victims alongside the neutralization of 324 armed actors.

We congratulate Lieutenant General Shaibu on his well-deserved appointment, we also urge him to always demonstrate his exceptional leadership and professionalism to sustain the achievement recorded in order for Nigerians to feel the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

Our uttermost appreciation goes to President Bola Tinubu for recognising General Shuaibu suitability for this important national assignment.
We are also calling on citizens to be partisan on issues that has to do with the security, safety and economy well being of the Nation. The elites must come to consensus on basic need for our sustainable development.
