The Nigerian Army (NA) has decorated Hajara Egbunu as an army warrant officer (WO).
Mathias Amatso, commander of the Nigerian Army Women Command (NAWC), honoured Egbunu with her new rank at a ceremony in Abuja on Friday.
With the promotion, Egbunu becomes the first female soldier from the elite Infantry Corps and the NAWC to attain the prestigious rank of Army Warrant Officer.
Army warrant officer is the most senior role for non-commissioned officers and the most junior among the commissioned officer ranks.
Amatso said Egbubu’s promotion reflected her hard work, dedication, and effectiveness.
He advised her to continue inspiring younger soldiers, aligning with the core values of the Nigerian Army.
