Zambia Army Chief Hails Buratai’s Legacy in National and Regional Security
Zambia Army Chief Hails Buratai’s Legacy in National and Regional Security
Commander of the Zambian Army, Lieutenant General Geoffrey Choongo Zyeele, has paid glowing tribute to the exemplary leadership and contributions of Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Rtd), former Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria, in advancing international peace and security across Africa.
This recognition came during a courtesy visit by Lt Gen Buratai, who currently is in Zambia to prepare for the launching of the League of African Ambassadors (LAA), to the Zambia Army Headquarters in Lusaka on Monday.
Lt Gen Zyeele commended the former Nigerian Army Chief for his pivotal role in establishing the Nigerian Army War College, which has become a model for military leadership training and strategic studies on the continent.
He noted that the visit underscored Lt Gen Buratai’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace and strengthening strategic military partnerships among African nations.
During his tenure as Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff from 2015 to 2021, Lt Gen Buratai spearheaded major counter-insurgency operations and introduced innovative asymmetric warfare strategies that revitalized the Nigerian Army and enhanced regional security cooperation.
Lt Gen Zyeele further acknowledged that Zambia continues to draw valuable lessons from Nigeria’s experiences in combating terrorism and insurgency—echoing President Hakainde Hichilema’s view that “instability anywhere is instability everywhere.”
In response, Lt Gen Buratai expressed appreciation to the Zambia Army for its proactive measures in safeguarding national borders and curbing emerging security threats.
He also commended Zambia’s active participation in the inaugural African Chiefs of Defence Staff Summit, describing it as a milestone in the continent’s collective resolve to sustain peace and stability.
On the diplomatic front, both generals reaffirmed the growing cooperation between Nigeria and Zambia in areas such as defence, health, trade, and education, particularly through knowledge exchange between the Nigerian Army War College and Zambian military institutions.
Lt Gen Buratai’s visit comes ahead of the much-anticipated launch of the League of African Ambassadors (LAA)—a continental initiative aimed at deepening collaboration, unity, and understanding among African nations.

The Ajadi Rescue Movement, Taraba State Chapter, held a vibrant and unifying meeting on Saturday at its state headquarters in Jalingo, reaffirming its commitment to youth empowerment, national unity, and social development across Nigeria’s northern region.
The event, attended by state and zonal executives, local government coordinators, and representatives of various ethnic groups, began at 10:00 a.m. with the arrival of the state and zonal executives, who distributed branded shirts and caps to members. Excitement filled the atmosphere as delegates awaited the arrival of their special guests.
By 11:00 a.m., the Nineteen Northern States Coordinator, Mr Ibrahim Shuibu, arrived alongside his cabinet and was warmly received by the state and local government coordinators. The meeting opened formally with the rendition of the Nigerian National Anthem at 11:03 a.m., followed by a prayer led by the Deputy State Coordinator, Mr. Babangida Sani Muhammad.
In his welcome address, the Taraba State Coordinator, Comrade Dabo Nuhu Muhammad, commended members for their steadfastness and discipline. He lauded the founder of the movement, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, for his visionary leadership.
“Ambassador Ajadi has given the Nigerian youth a renewed sense of direction,” Dabo said. “His message is simple — unity, productivity, and patriotism. The Ajadi Rescue Movement is not just a group; it is a mission to redefine youth participation in governance and national development.”
Following a round of self-introductions by the Northern Zonal coordinator, Mr. Shuibu delivered a keynote address emphasizing the importance of peace, religious tolerance, and inter-ethnic understanding among Nigerian youths.
“We must rise above religion and tribal sentiments,” Shuibu urged. “Our diversity is our strength, not our weakness. The Ajadi Rescue Movement is a platform for young Nigerians to build bridges, not barriers.”
He also spoke passionately about the founder, describing Ambassador Ajadi as “a leader who believes that the true wealth of a nation lies in its youth.”
The highlight of the meeting was the arrival of the royal father of the day, His Royal Highness, the Galadiman Muri, who graced the event at 12:00 p.m. and was received with traditional respect by the coordinators and members present

I pray that God strengthens this vision and blesses our state and nation.”
The meeting also featured goodwill messages from representatives of various ethnic and regional groups in Taraba. The Yoruba Coordinator emphasised collaboration among ethnic groups; the Calabar/Akwa Ibom representative praised the movement’s spirit of inclusiveness, while the Hausa/Fulani representative reaffirmed the northern youths’ commitment to peace and solidarity.
The Women Leader of the movement, in her remarks, celebrated the increasing participation of women in leadership and called for continued support for female empowerment within the organisation.

During the question-and-answer session, the Central Zonal Coordinator, Mr Rayyan Hassan, raised pertinent questions on youth capacity-building and national integration. These were addressed jointly by Mr Shuibu and Comrade Dabo, who assured members that new skill acquisition programs were underway.
