Decorating the personnel in Yola, Ahmed A. Usman, the Controller of NCS, State Command, said that they are gathered to celebrate, rejoice and decorate 177 deserving officers.

Usman, said that the Controller General NCS, Haliru Nababa, mandated the Assistant Controller General in charge of Zones, Commandants of Staff College Training Institutions and State Controllers to decorate all newly promoted officers with their new ranks.

He said that the promotion to a high rank is a product of loyalty, industry and performance appraised over a period of time as well as having passed prescribed examination.
