— As First Batch of Special Operations Force Graduates in Kaduna

The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, MON, has charged the first batch of the newly trained Special Operations Force (SOF) to remain disciplined, patriotic, and resolute in defending Nigeria against terrorism, banditry, and other security threats.

Speaking as the Special Guest of Honour at the closing ceremony held at Camp Kabala, Jaji, Kaduna, Dr. Matawalle described the SOF graduates as not only elite warriors but also ambassadors of the Nigerian Armed Forces, entrusted with upholding the highest standards of military professionalism.

“The Special Operations Force represents a new frontier in our military’s ability to respond swiftly and decisively to emerging and unconventional security threats,” the Minister declared. “You are not only warriors — you are ambassadors of the Nigerian Armed Forces and of this great nation.”

The SOF is a highly specialized unit designed for high-risk, precision missions beyond the scope of conventional forces. These operatives are equipped with cutting-edge technology and trained in advanced tactical warfare to support Nigeria’s counterterrorism and national security efforts. The graduates are now set to be deployed to some of the country’s most volatile flashpoints, including the Timbuktu Triangle, Shiroro axis, Lamba Forest, and the North-East theatre.

Dr. Matawalle emphasized that the Federal Government remains firmly committed to enhancing the operational capabilities and welfare of the Armed Forces. “The Nigerian Armed Forces stand behind you. The Ministry of Defence stands with you. Your sacrifices and your service are critical to securing the peace, unity, and future of our nation,” he said.

He also praised the instructors for their rigorous training and tactical leadership, noting that SOF personnel are “force multipliers” who are expected to operate in close coordination with land, air, and intelligence units.

Also speaking at the event, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, Ambassador Gabriel Tanimu Aduda, said the graduation of the SOF marks a milestone in the government’s efforts to reform and reposition the Armed Forces. He noted that the Renewed Hope Agenda places strong emphasis on capacity building and troop morale amid the complex security landscape.

On his part, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, OFR, underscored the importance of ethics, discipline, and protection of civilians in modern military operations.

“You carry the core values of courage, honor, and loyalty,” General Musa said. “Your duty goes beyond the battlefield — it includes the responsibility to safeguard the dignity of every Nigerian.”

As the graduates now prepare for frontline deployments, expectations are high that this elite unit will bolster Nigeria’s counterinsurgency architecture and contribute significantly to national stability and peace.
