The Nigerian Army Operations Media Coordinator, Col Aminu Iliyasu, stated this in a press release, saying the exercise’s new name would not affect the other components which were to tackle “kidnappings, armed robbery, inter-cult and communal clashes in the region.”
Iliyasu said, “The authorities of the Nigerian Army have changed the name of one of its annual training exercises code-named, “Exercise Egwu Eke” to “Exercise Atilogwu Udo.”

The annual training exercise commenced in 2016 and has consistently recorded remarkable successes since its introduction.
“The exercise, which covers the South East region of the country, is designed to combat criminal activities including kidnappings, armed robbery, inter-cult and communal clashes among other sundry crimes. All other information relative to the exercise remains unchanged.
“The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, reiterates the commitment of the Nigerian Army in protecting lives and properties of citizens particularly during these ember months and the fast-approaching Yuletide season.”
Atilogwu Udo is an Igbo expression which can be translated as dance of peace.
