Mijinyawa made the call on Thursday in a statement signed by the spokesperson of the 81 Division, Lt.-Col. Musa Yahaya.
The GOC said the division recently organised a training week for its soldiers for them to continue to uphold the highest professional military standards in the execution of their duties.
“Training is a vital instrument for achieving the required level of proficiency in carrying out duties within units, formations and among Nigerian army personnel.
“The country is facing numerous security challenges, where leadership, especially at the junior level, is essential to operational effectiveness,” he said.
Mijinyawa said the training week provided an opportunity for officers to enhance and perfect the essential rudiments of operational planning at the tactical level.
