He added, that having inspected the Barracks, he was determined to provide requisite infrastructural development that will enhance the welfare of troops and their families in the barracks.

General Yahaya further assured the barracks community that additional 12 blocks will be renovated and remodelled, aside a mini water work that will be constructed to mitigate the perennial water shortage in the barracks.

He urged the troops to intensify ongoing operations against the bandits and other criminals in their area of responsibility.

The COAS also paid an obeisance visit to His Royal Highness, the Emir of Zuru, Major General Muhammadu Sani Sami (rtd), where he commended the Royal father for his support to troops.
