The Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, on Friday commissioned newly constructed accommodation blocks at 6 Division, Port Harcourt.
The commissioning reaffirms the Nigerian Army’s commitment to troops’ welfare under the “Soldier First” culture, according to a statement signed by Colonel Apollonia Anele, Acting Director Army Public Relations.
Speaking at the event, the COAS said providing decent, secure, and conducive accommodation for personnel and their families remains a strategic priority.
He noted that improved living conditions directly enhance morale, strengthen operational readiness, and improve administrative efficiency.
“A well-motivated and adequately cared-for soldier is better positioned to safeguard Nigeria’s territorial integrity and respond effectively to emerging security challenges,” Shaibu said.
He added that sustained investment in personnel welfare is critical to building a more professional, resilient, and combat-ready Nigerian Army.
The COAS also expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for continued support and the provision of resources that have strengthened personnel welfare and operational effectiveness.
