He paid tribute to Major General Lawrence Fejokwu, describing him as a fine Army officer who served with humility in various capacities, including as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, Lagos, and as the Chief of Administration of the Nigerian Army.
Elumelu also hailed Major General Raymond Ochei as a humble officer with intellectual capacity, who demonstrated vast knowledge, expertise, and experience in the management of Army resources, culminating in his well deserved appointment as the Director General, Bureau of Army Financial Management and Audit.
