Earlier in his remarks, Acting Chief of Accounts and Budget (Army), Brigadier General Jahadi Jakko, described the theme of the training, “Towards Achieving Prudent Utilization of Financial Resources for a Professional Responsive Nigerian Army: The Role of NAFC, WOs/SNCOs”, as apt, considering the prevailing economic realities in the country.
He said that the training was designed to enhance capacity development and update personnel. This is due to the recent Federal Government application on public sector financial policies and reforms, regimentation, as well as security of office documents. He pleaded with troops to exercise patience on the payment of their last month’s allowances. He assured it would be given priority.
