The pair recently joined other distinguished Nigerian women to celebrate the former COAS at the event.
The envoy who doubled as the chairperson for the event said the former army chief is a distinguished gentleman and rare enviable leader.
Nana said:
"Strategic leadership today has played an ever critical role in shaping and tackling global events, most especially the security challenges affecting our nation."
"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality, it is the art of communication; it is about action not position. This book draws deep into the qualities; leadership, challenges, overall wealth of experience required to lead successful administration."
Also speaking, Adekojo said Nigerian women need to reciprocate Buratai’s gesture as COAS following the creation of the Nigerian Army Female Corps.
Adekojo said that women should ensure equality for all gender by making sure all female officers and soldiers got their promotions as when due.
She also encouraged the women not to only pray for the Armed Forces but devise ways to support the federal government in the fight against banditry, kidnapping and terrorism.
Adekojo also said that she will continue to use her foundation to support the non-kinetic approach in the war against insurgency by lifting many youths and vulnerable women out of poverty.
