Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has given a three-month ultimatum to over-weight Army personnel to shape up or be shown the way out of the force.
While fielding questions from newsmen after addressing the Chief of Army Staff’s third quarter conference which opened at the Army Headquarters, Abuja, yesterday, Buratai also renewed the military’s assurance to Nigerians that everything possible would be done to facilitate the rescue of the Chibok schoolgirls seized by Boko Haram terrorists in April 2014.
He decried that many officers and soldiers have not paid the needed attention to their physical fitness, which has led to many of them being overweight with tendency for obesity and its attendant health risks.
Buratai has directed the Department of Army Physical Training to work out guidelines on improving the physical fitness of personnel.
