The Service Chiefs were also advised to give responsibilities to trusted hands , while charging them to be loyal and patriotic .
Adesina in the piece quoted Buhari as telling the service chiefs , “ You know the stage we were in 2015 , and you know the stage we are now , and the undertakings we made .
“ In terms of equipment and other logistics , we are doing our best , and will do more . Give officers you can trust command , and support them . Respect seniority and intellectualism, but also use people who can deliver, those who show courage and leadership qualities .
“ I will be praying for you . I assure you of that . ”
Njenje Media News recalls that four new service chiefs were appointed by President Buhari on Tuesday after the former Service Chiefs resigned and were retired.
