Maj-Gen. Enebong Udoh on Friday formally took over as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
At a brief ceremony held at the Division’s Headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos, Udoh’s predecessor, Maj.-Gen. Peter Dauke, handed over the division’s flag to the new GOC after signing the handing and taking over notes.
NAN reports that the highlight of the occasion was the inspection of the quarter guard where the old flag was lowered and the new one hoisted.
In his remarks, the outgoing GOC thanked President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, for the opportunity given to him to serve in the division.
“I had an interesting time working with the commanders, staff and officers of the division.

Until his posting to 81 Division, Udoh was the GOC 6 Division of the Nigerian Army.
