He highlighted her outstanding performance and dedication to excellence, which have made her a role model for others.
Lt Owowo was among 135 officer cadets who graduated during RMAS' sovereign's parade in London on April 12.
Her achievement is a testament to her hard work and the Nigerian Army's commitment to recognizing and rewarding excellence.
The promotion ceremony was attended by senior military officers, academic and non-academic staff, family members, and other dignitaries. It was a moment of pride for the Nigerian Army and a celebration of Lt Owowo's remarkable achievement.
Lt Owowo's promotion is a significant milestone in the Nigerian Army's history and a testament to the army's commitment to gender equality and inclusivity.
Her achievement serves as an inspiration to others, and her dedication to service and excellence is a shining example for the next generation of military officers.
The Nigerian Army's recognition of Lt Owowo's achievements demonstrates its commitment to rewarding excellence and promoting diversity and inclusion. As the army continues to modernize and evolve, it is clear that talented and dedicated officers like Lt Owowo will play a vital role in shaping its future.
