Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

By Stephen Adeleye

Lokoja – The Nigerian Army has constructed and donated toilet facilities and solar powered boreholes to communities in Ekinrin-Adde, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi.

The four projects constructed include toilet facilities and solar powered motorised boreholes at Oja Oba Central Market, Community Comprehensive College, C&S Owobode and Ekinrin-Adde Townhall.

Speaking at the official inauguration on Saturday in Ekinrin-Adde, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Farouk Yahaya, said that the gesture was part of the Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) special intervention projects being executed by the Nigerian Army across the country.

Represented by the Commander, Headquarters Command Army Records (CAR), Maj -Gen. Sunday Igbinomwanhia, the COAS said that Nigerian Army had enjoyed high level of cooperation and goodwill from Ekinrin-Adde communities and the entire Nigerian citizens.

He noted that the Nigerian Army had, over the years, taken deliberate steps towards ensuring that it gives back to the society the cooperation it had enjoyed from the people by observing some corporate social responsibilities.

This, he said was very much in line with his vision of “a professional Nigerian Army, ready to accomplish assigned missions within a joint environment in defence of Nigeria”.

He stressed that in pursuance of the vision, he had ensured that Nigerian Army paid more attention to the non kinetic aspect of its operations.

He emphasised that the projects were quick impact projects executed by the Nigerian Army in various parts of the country towards contributing to national development.

”I believe this project will serve the collective needs of the members of Ekinrin-Adde communities and its immediate environs,” the COAS said.

The Army boss said that the Nigerian Army in conjunction with other security agencies are working assiduously to rid the country of criminal activities and all forms of insecurities facing it.

He appealed to the people to see the project as a symbol of friendship between the Nigerian Army and the communities.

”Let it foster the desired peace, progress and indeed bring prosperity to the community as well,” he said.

The COAS thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for his continuous support to the Nigerian Army and for providing the environment conducive for carrying out their constitutional mandate.

He appreciated the Minister of Defence, retired Maj-Gen Salihi Magashi and Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, for always providing direction and support to the Nigerian Army.

He thanked Gov. Yahaya Bello, traditional fathers and all the good people of Kogi for their unrelenting support to the Nigerian Army.

Speaking on his own capacity, Maj-Gen. Igbinomwanhia, thanked the COAS for sponsoring several of those projects in Kogi under his area of responsibility, saying it would further boost security on the state.

”I will say I am also a beneficiary of these projects because it will have direct impacts on the security of the state,” he said.

He stressed that the Nigerian Army would not tolerate any act of indiscipline from any of its officer or soldier, saying the full wrath of the law would be on any erring personnel in the state.

He, therefore, urged the people to be confident to continue to support and cooperate with the Nigerian Army by giving credible information that would lead to arrest of criminal elements in the state.

On his part, Maj-Gen Michael Durowaiye, the projects’ executor, thanked the COAS for his passion towards improving the wellbeing of his people and his financial commitment to the reality of the projects.

Durowaiye, who is the Executive Director, Nigerian Army Farms and Ranches Ltd. said the gesture was a way of giving back to his roots and ancestral home to improve the wellbeing and standard of living of his people.

He noted that the intervention projects were part of efforts in demonstrating the Nigerian Army sensitive nature to the problems and aspirations of their host communities.

In their remark, the Olu Adde of Ekinrin-Adde, Oba Anthony Idowu; and the Olujumu of Ijumu, Oba Williams Ayeni, both expressed their gratitude to the COAS for impacting the lives of their people with the projects.

The highlight of the event was the presentation of souvenirs to the COAS, the Commander Commander, the traditional rulers as well as the dignitaries at the occasion.(NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
