The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, has assured Nigerian Army Troops of his commitment to improve their welfare and that of their families.
He gave the assurance while addressing troops of 332 Artillery Regiment in Shendam, Plateau State, during his operations visit to the unit.
General Oluyede commended the soldiers for their sacrifice in the effort at maintaining peace and security in their area of responsibility.
He urged them to sustain their effort and be prepared to deal decisively with any threat to peace and security on the plateau.
The COAS, in a statement by Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director Army Public Relations, and made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA), also directed the immediate renovation of some dilapidated accommodation to give the barracks a face-lift and improve the troops’ living conditions.
The Army Chief intervened by ordering the immediate provision of boreholes to address the challenge of perennial water scarcity in the barracks, amongst other interventions.
