Musa gave the commendation in his message to members of the Armed Force on the occasion of Easter Celebration on Thursday in Abuja.
He assured them that their sacrifices would not go unnoticed, urging them to continue to remain the bedrock of the nation’s stability and unity.
The CDS said that members of the armed forces had continued to embody the same spirit of selfless service through dedication to duty, loyalty to Nigeria, and unrelenting commitment to peace and national security.
“As we mark the celebration of Easter, I extend my heartfelt greetings to each and every one of you, those at home, on duty, and in various theatres of operations across the country and beyond.
“Easter is a season of reflection and renewal. It reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice made by our Lord Jesus Christ, and His resurrection which brings hope to all of humanity.
“This is a message of sacrifice, courage, and triumph over adversity which is especially significant to the members of the armed forces of Nigeria.
“Let us remember our fallen comrades, men and women who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty.
“May their memories remain eternal and may their service never be forgotten.
“We also pray for the quick recovery of those wounded in action, and for strength and comfort for their families,” he said.
The defence chief urged them to use the period to reflect on the values that Easter represents; sacrifice, forgiveness, unity, and hope.
According to him, let it also be a time to renew their commitment to duty, discipline, and professionalism, as they work together to achieve the strategic objectives of the armed forces and to secure the peace that Nigeria desperately needs.
He expressed confidence in their ability to overcome the challenges before them.
“Together, we will continue to defend Nigeria’s sovereignty with honour and dignity,” he said.
Musa thanked President Bola Tinubu for his unrelenting efforts in ensuring a safer and prosperous nation.
