The Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo State Council, has lauded the 4 Brigade of the Nigerian Army for its strong combat readiness and sustained efforts in improving and strengthening security across the state.
Chairman of the council, Dr. Festus Alenkhe gave the commendation during a courtesy call on the Brigade Headquarters in Benin City.
He said the Union has closely monitored the Brigade’s achievements since the current Commander assumed office.
Alenkhe added that, the relative peace being enjoyed in Edo is largely due to the troops’ constant preparedness and swift response to threats.
