Five major projects recently completed at the Onitsha Military
Cantonment have been commissioned.
Among the projects inaugurated
were Palm Garden, Arm Store, Lawn Tennis Court, Duty Room and a morgue.
Speaking at the event, Anambra
Governor, Willie Obiano said the Military has proved a viable partner with the
State in its efforts to secure the lives and property of the citizenry, noting
that his administration had engaged the services of Army Engineers in the
execution of road infrastructural projects in the State.
He expressed the hope
that the projects will help in no mean measure to improve the lives of Men and
Officers of the cantonment, adding that with the sacrifice they make on daily
basis to ensure that the people are secure, nothing is too much to give
to them.
The General Officer
Commanding, 82 Army Division, Enugu, Major Adamu Abubakar described Governor
Obiano as a humane leader who has been consistent in showing his commitment
towards fighting crime in the state and said the Nigerian Army will reciprocate
his gesture by remaining dedicated in their duty.
In their separate
remarks, the Commander, 302 Artillery Regiment, Colonel Isah Abdulahi and the
Commanding Officer, 14th Field Engineering Regiment, Lt Colonel Abubakar Saleh
explained that the projects were designed to improve the capacity of the
soldiers and create facilities for recreation for them.
Highpoint of the event
was presentation of a plaque to Governor Obiano by the GOC 82 Division, Major
General Abubakar in recognition of his immense contributions to the Nigerian
Army as well as presentation of gift items to both serving and retired Army
officers who have served the cantonment in the past.
