\u201cAgain, I thank you most sincerely for complementing the Nigerian Army\u2019s efforts of improving the welfare of personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also want to urge Tantita that having completed this project in 3 Battalion Effurun, they should look for other Barracks within our area of responsibility so that they can extend their goodwill to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinally, I commend the efforts leading to the completion of 3 Battalion Soliders Transit Accommodation. The project will no doubt go a long way in lifting the spirit of personnel and enhancing their outputs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
