The new Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, Ambassador Gabriel Aduda, has pledged to improve on the performance of his predecessor, Dr. Ibrahim Kana, to move the ministry forward as he takes over.
He made the pledge while taking over from Kana, who has been redeployed to the Ministry of Aviation and AeroSpace Development.
This was revealed in a statement by Asonye Daberechi, for the Director, Information and Public Relations of the ministry, Henshaw Ogubike, and made available to newsmen on Friday.
Aduda said the Defence Ministry was like home coming for him because he is a product of a military family with good knowledge of military veterans.
He said: “Destiny has brought us together and with the good testimonies about the achievements of the outgoing permanent secretary, we will take it further to the next level, so that his efforts will not be in vain.”
The new permanent secretary urged the staff of the ministry to be committed, honest, and courageous to duty, adding that those were the keys to success in achieving their mandates.
