The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya has commissioned 13 blocks of self contained accommodation for soldiers and their families at 223 Battalion, Dakkarawa Barracks, Zuru in Kebbi state. The COAS commissioned the project today, Wednesday 4 May 2022, while continuing his operational tour of 8 Division Area of Responsibility in the North West.

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.

The COAS disclosed that the intervention was necessitated by his drive to create a conducive environment for soldiers’ families to enable troops effectively carryout their duties in the right frame of mind where ever they are deployed. 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. He called on the traditional institution to work hand in gloves with the Nigerian Army and other security agencies to defeat banditry.
