*BRIGADIER GENERAL "AS ALIYU" HAS MADE HISTORY AS THE SECOND GENERAL IN THE NIGERIAN ARMY TO SUCCESSFULLY JUMP FROM A PLANE*
This remarkable feat puts him in the same league as former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General KTJ Minimah, who was the first to achieve this impressive milestone.
What's truly inspiring about Brig Gen Aliyu's achievement is that it wasn't just about personal glory; it demonstrated his commitment to the future of the Nigerian Army. He led by example, jumping alongside cadets from the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), who marked their first parachute jump and the beginning of their careers as officers in the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
Brig Gen Aliyu's actions embody the Nigerian Army's enduring ethos: "No guts-no glory." This moment was not just an airborne jump, but a lesson in leadership, instilling confidence, courage, and deep understanding of true leadership in the cadets who jumped alongside him. As the Nigerian Army continues to shape its future leaders
