Abuja, Nigeria, Tuesday, April 28, 2026

The Nigerian Army has intensified efforts to improve operational efficiency and institutional performance through the introduction of a Standardized Evaluation Framework.

This was the focus of a sensitization seminar organised by the Army Headquarters Department of Standards and Evaluation at the Nigerian Army Conference Centre and Suites, Asokoro, Abuja.

The seminar brought together key stakeholders to enhance understanding and implementation of structured performance assessment systems across Army formations and units.

Declaring the event open, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, represented by the Military Secretary (Army), Major General Everest Okoro, described the initiative as a major step towards strengthening institutional development and professional excellence within the Army.

He explained that the Department of Standards and Evaluation serves as the Army’s quality assurance body, responsible for enforcing compliance with established benchmarks, conducting combat readiness assessments, and evaluating operational effectiveness.

According to him, the framework is designed to identify strengths, address gaps, and continuously improve operational outcomes through structured evaluation processes.

In his remarks, the Chief of Army Standards and Evaluation, Major General Bobby Ugiagbe, noted that the seminar aims to deepen the application of standards to enhance discipline, professionalism, and operational effectiveness.

He added that the initiative will support the institutionalisation of uniform evaluation practices across the Nigerian Army in line with global best standards.

The development reflects the Army’s ongoing commitment to accountability, precision, and continuous improvement in its operations nationwide.
