 EID-EL-KABIR 2025: COAS FELICITATES WITH TROOPS, FAMILIES…Calls for Sustained Courage and Sacrifice


As the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and across the globe celebrate Eid-El-Kabir, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede has extended his heartfelt felicitations to the officers, soldiers and families of the Nigerian Army, applauding their steadfast commitment, gallantry and selfless service to the nation.


In a goodwill message released on the occasion of the Eid-El-Kabir festival, the COAS hailed the Nigerian Army's resilience in the face of security challenges, describing the troops as a beacon of courage and sacrifice whose efforts continue to inspire national pride and unity. “Your unwavering commitment, selfless devotion, and unflinching resilience in defence of our fatherland are deeply appreciated," the COAS averred.


Eid-El-Kabir, he noted, symbolizes the essence of sacrifice, a virtue that mirrors the daily lives of soldiers across theatres of operation. He urged troops to remain resolute and draw renewed strength from the spiritual significance of the season.


Reflecting on the NA's collective achievements over the past year, the COAS acknowledged the gradual restoration of peace in many parts of the country, attributing the gains to the unmatched bravery, loyalty and professionalism of the troops. “Many of our gallant warriors bear the marks of battle, some carry visible scars, others live with the memories and some have paid the ultimate price in service to our great nation. We honour their legacies and stand with their families during this festive period. “Their heroism remains etched in our national memory.” he acknowledged.


The COAS further reiterated the unwavering resolve of the NA to defend Nigeria’s sovereignty and combat emerging security threats. He called on troops to remain disciplined, united, and mission-focused in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities. 


The COAS also expressed profound appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, for his unwavering support, strategic direction, and commitment to strengthening national security architecture.


As the Eid celebration unfolds, the COAS encouraged military personnel and their families to observe the season with gratitude, humility and renewed dedication to service.
