Chief of Army Staff now a Lieutenant General
Military authorities have confirmed the rank of the Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru as Lieutenant General.
And in his first major re-shaping of army regimentation, Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru has taken the Army back to its dress code which was changed under his predecessor, Tukur Buratai.
In a signal to all army units and formations across the country, the Chief of Army Staff ordered that from Monday, April 12, 2021, officers and men will dress in their plain jackets on Mondays and Fridays.
The dress code is popularly known as the number four dress in the army.
On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, the soldiers are to dress in number five dress, a plain green uniform that requires them to tuck in.
The mode of dressing contained in the new directive was what was obtained before Tukur Buratai changed them.
