Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, has called on the Nigerian military to build and sustain relationships with foreign partners.

He stressed that harnessing data, digitalisation, and real-time logistics would improve efficiency and responsiveness in the military.

Sanwo-Olu said these at the 25th Combat Service Support Training Week 2024 at Nebo Hall, Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps, Ojuelegba, Lagos.

The Combat Service Suppprt comprises the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps, Nigerian Army Medical Corps, Nigerian Army Corps of Supply and Transport and Nigerian Army Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.

The governor, represented by his Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde, said the event’s theme: “Repositioning the Combat Service Support Corps to Support the Nigerian Army towards Achieving its Constitutional Responsibilities within a Joint Environment,” resonated deeply with the evolving nature of modern warfare.

“This training week provides an opportunity for our men and women to deepen their understanding of how CSS can be optimised to enhance joint operations.

“This transformation is not merely about reacting to challenges as they arise, but proactively anticipating and preparing for the future needs of our troops,” he said.

He added, “This quest for repositioning CSS must also acknowledge the importance of the Nigerian Army’s role within the wider security architecture, to build and sustain relationships with both national and international partners.

“From logistics and supply chain advancements to medical services and technical support, collaboration with allied nations, defence contractors, and civil organisations will further enhance our capacity to meet our objectives.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, represented by the Commander, Corps of Signals, Maj. Gen. Gbemiga Adesina, said three elements were vital and played a critical role in achieving success in CSS corps operations.

“The elements are: continuous self-appraisal, assessment and adjustments."
