41RC ALUMNI HONOUR COAS GENERAL SHAIBU, CELEBRATE LEGACY OF SERVICE

The 41 Regular Course (41RC) Alumni Association on Sunday, 27 September 2026, held a reunion dinner and grand reception in honour of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, at the Nigerian Army Conference Centre and Suites, Abuja.

The event brought together coursemates to celebrate over three decades of friendship, military service, leadership and sacrifice, while recognising General Shaibu as one of the Course’s distinguished members.

Members of 41RC have served across the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy and Nigerian Air Force in operational, command, staff, instructional and strategic appointments, contributing to national defence and the development of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

The reunion also honoured coursemates who paid the supreme price in training accidents, aviation incidents and active service, with their sacrifices remembered as part of the Course’s enduring legacy.

The occasion reaffirmed the bonds of fraternity forged at the Nigerian Defence Academy and the values of discipline, comradeship, professionalism and service that have remained central to the Course more than three decades after graduation. The 41RC legacy is captured in its guiding ideals: “United in Friendship for Progress. Bound by Service. Strengthened by Sacrifice. Remembered by Legacy.”
