Good deeds trail a leader to even forlorn corners of deserts in a natural response to the instincts of appreciation in mankind. Not all Nigerians are thankless people and in spite of the generalized degeneration in the land, good leaders are feted and honoured by foresighted and conscionable Nigerians.The Chief of Army Staff and leader of the counter-insurgency operations in Nigeria, Lt. Gen. TY Buratai has passionately touched the hearts of Nigerians in an unforgettable manner.
Naming the newly established institute after Gen. Buratai in itself is not sensational. But what is more captivating is the reason adduced for such honour to the Army boss. As revealed by the Vice Chancellor of EBSU, Prof. Chigozie Egbu, the Army boss deserved the honour for his selfless service to the nation and humanity. They have noticed his splendor in the promotion and maintenance of peace and security in Nigeria.
But the gesture by Ebonyi people is particularly exciting for unique reasons. The natives of Ebonyi state are Igbo people who are famed for their high mobility flair driven by investment motives and business pursuits. They are found everywhere in Nigeria and their investments have no geographical boundaries. Ndi’gbos appreciate a stable and secured Nigerian more than any other Nigerian. And it is this priceless gift of security and peace Gen.
The COAS has endeared himself to the Southeast in other numerous ways too. Gen. Buratai enforced local content in goods and services for the first time in the history of Nigerian Army, and launched the Made in Aba and Made in Nigeria campaigns. Through this policy of the Army in patronizing local goods and services, the Southeast has become the greatest beneficiary.
And assessing the leadership personality of Gen. Buratai, what strikes anyone instantly is the de-tribalized nature of the Army Chief. He ensures that every officer and soldier is treated fairly and equitably without recourse to his or her ethnicity, religion or region. These were impossible even when a privilege Igbo son held the position he is occupying today.
