The Nigerian Army has said it will utilise emerging technologies for operational efficiency in the Army.
This was made known by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, during a paper presentation tagged “Emerging Technologies and Operational Efficiency: Implications for the Nigerian Army by 2035”, presented by participants of the National Defence College (NDC) Course 31, at the Army Headquarters
As obtained from the official Twitter handle of the Force @HQNigeriaArmu, the Army Chief said, “Employing emerging technologies has provided the Nigerian Army with improved surveillance capability, enhanced communication, efficient data management, situational awareness and strategic decision-making.”
He also commended the participants for a well researched paper, noting that the paper presentation will reawaken the consciousness of emerging technologies and their implications for operational efficiency.
More so, he said, the Nigerian Army is already keying into emerging technologies in its institutions and establishments, adding that the NA will sustain the development, as it cannot divorce itself completely from the dynamics of both its internal and external environments.
