The Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru, has prescribed a new dress code for officers and men of the Nigerian Army.
The directive, according to military sources, was contained in a signal to all Army units and formation across Nigeria.
The directive comes about three months after Mr Attahiru, a lieutenant general, assumed office.
The new directive is part of the restructuring being undertaken by the new army leadership.
Shortly after assuming office, the army chief approved the redeployment of 204 of its officers to new formations across the country.
The redeployment came the same day Mr Attahiru was confirmed and elevated from the rank of major general to lieutenant general.
Reforms in the army are usually expected especially when there is a change of leadership.
With effect from next week, all officers and soldiers are to dress in their plain green jacket on Mondays and Fridays. The dress is popularly known as “number four dress” in the army.
The number four dress is like a short-sleeved suit, popularly known as safari. It has four buttons and four pockets and is usually worn with a peak cap.
