The Commander of 6 Brigade Nigerian Army/Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke, Brig. Gen. Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, has earned widespread recognition for his outstanding leadership and commitment to internal security in Taraba State. Recently honored with the prestigious title of GARKUWAN MATASAN AREWA (Icon of Humanitarian Service) by the Northern Youth Parliament of Nigeria (NYPN), Brig. Gen. Uwa's achievements serve as a testament to his exceptional military career.

 

As a fearless field commander, Brig. Gen. Uwa leads from the front, taking the fight to the enemy's territory. Under his command, 6 Brigade Nigerian Army has recorded significant successes in counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations. His strategic leadership and gallantry in combat have resulted in neutralization of terrorists and their top leaders, protection of civilians and restoration of peace in trouble areas of Taraba State. 

 

Beyond his military accomplishments, Brig. Gen. Uwa has demonstrated a deep commitment to humanitarian service. His professionalism and compassion have earned him the respect and admiration of local communities, who have benefited from his command's civic engagement initiatives and humanitarian projects.

 

Recall that Taraba State Government commended the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army for their commitment to ensuring peace and security in the state. The appreciation was expressed in January 2025 during the West African Social Activities (WASA) 2024 event at the Jolly Nyame Stadium in Jalingo. Secretary to the Government, Barrister Timothy Kataps, representing Governor Dr. Agbu Kefas, highlighted the government's gratitude for the brigade's efforts in combating insecurity.

 

The NYPN's recognition is a fitting tribute to Brig. Gen. Uwa's dedication and service. As a role model for young military officers, his achievements exemplify the values of courage, discipline, and selflessness that define the Nigerian Army. His legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations of military leaders and humanitarians.
