The new CDS said the mandate of President Buhari was very clear to him and his colleagues, hence they will deliver on the core mandate. 

“I have had extensive experience as a commissioned officer of the Nigerian Army. I have had experiences in both operational and of course instructional and field experiences and I hope as we interact together you will see more of what we could deliver in a manner Nigerians will be happy,” Irabor said.
