Commander, 14 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Brigadier-General Olusola Diya, has urged children living in the barracks 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 State.
He enjoined them to take their studies seriously in order to benefit from the many opportunities provided by education.
The commander said he decided to celebrate the children to make them happy and help them imbibe positive thinking in themselves as future leaders.
“It is 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 said.
Diya 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, egg race, dressing in native and English attire, as well as crowning of the Prince and Princess of the brigade. NAN
