Shy Away From Unprofessional Conduct, CDS Tells Attachés

Nigerian defence attachés currently serving in foreign missions have been encouraged to adapt to the change agenda of the present government.This charge was delivered by Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Gabriel Olonisakin, while speaking at the closing ceremony of the Annual Defence Attachés Conference, which took place at the Headquarters of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) on Friday in Abuja noted that, “This conference also provides me the opportunity to charge the Defence Intelligence community to shift the fundamental paradigm of its engagement in line with the change agenda of the Federal Government of Nigeria.“I charge you to always apply yourself to your working environment and deliberately identify and project the comparative advantages therein for the betterment of Nigeria, therefore, you must strive to be an agent of progressive change for Nigeria.“The discharge of these strategic duties requires a defence intelligence community that is undoubtedly imbued with impeccable professionalism; this must be reflected in the criteria for selection of officers of the cadre, structured occupational development and the determination of the appropriate rank in the appointment of defence adviser/attaché.”
