The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shu'aibu, inaugurated four blocks of 120 flats and a 60,000-litre solar-powered borehole at Ribadu Cantonment, Kotoko Barracks in Kaduna on Friday. The project, aimed at improving welfare for troops, was officially handed over in a ceremony attended by senior military officials. Maj.-Gen. Isa Abdullah, Chief of Administration at Army Headquarters, represented the COAS at the event. The flats and solar-powered water facility are located within the cantonment to provide better living conditions for soldiers and their families. No further details were provided on the construction timeline, contractor, or total cost of the project.
Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shu'aibu inaugurated housing for troops in Kaduna while many soldiers still live in makeshift shelters across other postings. The 120 flats serve only a fraction of personnel, leaving the bulk of enlisted men without comparable upgrades. If welfare is a priority, why are such projects not standard in all major barracks? The disparity between this gesture and prevailing conditions elsewhere remains unaddressed.
