By Trek Africa Newspaper

The Brigade Commander of the 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army, and Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke, OPWS, Brigadier Kingsley Uwa, has urged the newly promoted soldiers of the Brigade to beware of slippery banana peels they are likely to meet during the course of moving up in their career.

Two officers of the Brigade were promoted from the rank of lieutenant to captain.

The newly promoted soldiers are the Brigade pioneer finance officer, Captain Chinedu Nsiegbbunam and the Brigade’s Public Relations Officer, Captain Oni Olubodunde.

Decorating them with their new ranks on Saturday in Jalingo, the state capital, Uwa announced that their promotion was based on merit.

“The two promoted soldiers have been very hardworking, and have assisted me since my assumption as the Brigade Commander to achieve my vision and mission to the Brigade.

“So I urge you to beware of slippery banana peels in the course of executing your newly assigned responsibilities,” he said
