The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 81 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Adebayo Babalola, has charged officers and soldiers of the Division to embrace financial prudence, make informed investment decisions and plan adequately for a secure post-service life.
In a statement signed by the Acting Deputy Director Army Public Relations, 81 Division Nigerian Army, Lieutenant Colonel Musa Yahaya, the Army said Babalola gave the charge on August 27, 2026, during a one-day Seminar on Financial Wellness and Investment Education held at the Hippo Officers’ Mess, Outer Marina, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Represented by the Chief of Staff, Headquarters 81 Division, Brigadier General MI Abdulkadir, the GOC noted that personnel needed sound knowledge of personal financial management despite their training in managing men, equipment and operational resources.
According to him, financial stability contributes to family security, peace of mind, professional concentration and overall effectiveness.
He urged participants to acquire practical knowledge of investment, wealth creation and retirement planning, stressing the need to apply the lessons from the seminar to avoid costly financial mistakes.
The GOC said the initiative was organised in line with the “Soldier First” culture and the Command Philosophy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu.
