Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State on Monday offered a cash gift of N50,000 to each of the RSMs at the ongoing 2015 Regimented Sergeant Majors Conference taking place in Maiduguri.
Governor Shettima who was the special guest of honor at the event said that he was happy that Borno State was chosen to host the RSMs whom he described as the "heart of the barracks."
Earlier, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai had said that the current counterinsurgency operations in the northeast had exposed some flaws in the Nigerian Army. He said that the flaws were in the areas of discipline, regimentation, professionalism and general conduct.
Given this scenario, Buratai said that his focus is "to restore the long cherished core values of the Nigerian Army through discipline, regimentation and professionalism.
“It is my belief that the attainment of these three cardinal objectives will refocus the Nigerian Army towards a more responsive force that is ever ready to defend the territorial integrity of our nation and effectively undertake all tasks as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
He described the RSMs “as the most important link between the officers and soldiers as well as the custodians and repository of unit regimentation. "
