The Commander of 14 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Brig.-Gen. Olusola Diya, has urged barracks children to prioritise education as a pathway to success.
Diya gave the advice while treating children to an end of the year party at Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Barracks, Ohafia, Abia.
The commander enjoined them to take their studies seriously to benefit from the many opportunities being provided by education.
He said that he decided to celebrate the children to make them happy and help them imbibe a positive thinking in themselves as future leaders.
The commander said that it was a season of celebration, hence the need to bring all the children in the barracks together no matter the status of their parents to celebrate as one.
He assured that every child would have a place to celebrate as long as he is at the helm of affairs in the brigade.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that highlights of the celebration include contests like spelling bee, egg race, dressing in native and English attire as well as crowning of the Prince and Princess of the brigade.
