Major General John Enenche (retd.) has explained that senior military officers now take active roles in leading operations in areas affected by insecurity to encourage soldiers and demonstrate commitment to the fight.
Speaking during an interview from 12:39 on Arise TV, Enenche said military commanders motivate troops by leading from the front and setting examples for those serving under them.
He noted that the practice has become more common in the Northeast and Northwest, where even General Officers Commanding (GOCs) personally lead operations to encourage soldiers to follow their example.
According to the retired general, Brigadier Generals are also increasingly taking part in frontline operations, a development he said was uncommon in the past. He linked this approach to the deaths of some senior military officers during operations in the Northeast.
Enenche added that beyond leading troops, military commanders must motivate personnel by addressing their welfare needs and ensuring they have the necessary resources to perform their duties.
Explaining how senior officers encourage soldiers, Enenche said, “You convince them by leading them with example, doing what you practice. That is why in Northeast and Northwest you see even the General Officer Commanding leading operations just to ensure followership. It was not so before, but you now see people at our rank, Brigadier Generals leading operations. And that was why you saw some of our officers have died in the northeast. So that is the way you encourage them”
