Adedoyin said his men were equal to the task and would continue to ensure that effective security for Nigerians as empowered by the Constitution.

He said the purpose of the exercise was to keep the personnel fit “because a man behind the weapon must be fit in order to prevent an accident.“

“As military men fitness is a way of life for us and it makes sense to be fit to be able to defend the country.

“As military men, no matter the sophistication of our weapon whether on the ground on in the air, we need a fit mind and body to be able to execute our function,” Adedoyin said.

He called on the personnel to always engage in an exercise in order to keep fit so as to avoid running to the medical centre for treatment.
