Mr Musa said the event was a reminder of political history and vision for the future which served as an emblem of pride and inspiration for the members of the armed forces and the general public.
He said that the unveiling of the Tattoo 2025 logo showcased the history, culture, practises, skills, discipline, and the heritage of the Nigerian military.
According to him, it gives discipline and understanding of what command, obedience, loyalty, dedication, and sacrifice are.
“This tattoo is a parade. We also invite other members of other forces to come and showcase their parades, their culture, their activities and this fosters unity between us.
“And that is a critical thing for every armed force that is professional and that separates you from kangaroo armed forces or non-state actors because they don’t know what all this is about, ” he said.
