Mr. Oleghe called on Corps Members to emulate “the value of determination,” as showcased by 10 platoon.In her own remark, a very happy 10 platoon officer, Mrs. Ebere Obasimo commended her players for their “die-hard spirit,” noting that any platoon officer who wants to achieve the best from Corps Members must be “intentional in standing with them through thick and thin.”
