Brigadier General Ajose took over from his predecessor, Major General Godwin Mutkut who was posted to Nigerian Army Heritage and Future Centre as Director, Military Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While delivering his farewell address at 26 Battalion Parade Ground Giginya Barracks, Major General Mutkut eulogised the officers and soldiers of the Division for their unalloyed cooperation and support during his tenure, charging them to remain committed and disciplined. The former GOC said the Division&#8217;s Area of Responsibilities (AOR) are not strange to his successor as one time Brigade Commander. He therefore expressed confidence in his capability to take the Division to a greater height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier in his remarks, the new GOC and Commander JTF NW OPHD, Brigadier General Ajose commended his predecessor for successful track record, while seeking his continuous guidance. He expressed his willingness to work with all officers and soldiers towards lasting peace and stability within the Division&#8217;s AOR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brigadier General Ajose further wished his predecessor successful tour of duty in his new office. Until his appointment as the acting GOC and Commander JTF NW OPHD, he was the Director of Administration at Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlight of the event were signing of the Handing and Taking over notes, Handing over of Command Flag and Quarter guard parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
