Tinubu inaugurates Abuja barracks named after him

President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated a newly constructed
barracks in the Asokoro area of Abuja.

 

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Barracks comprises 16 major-general
quarters, 34 brigadier-generals quarters, 60 major-colonel flats and 60
lieutenant-captain flats.

 

It also includes 180 senior non-commissioned officer flats,
264 flats for personnel on the rank of corporal and below, worship centres,
sports facilities and a powerhouse.

 

Speaking after the inauguration on Thursday, Olufemi
Oluyede, chief of army staff (COAS), said the barracks was named after Tinubu
to “give honour to whom honour is due”.

 

The COAS said Tinubu is committed to improving the welfare
and operational needs of the army, especially in addressing the accommodation
deficit.

 

He commended Faruk Yahaya, and late Taoreed Lagbaja, his
predecessors, for initiating and executing the project.

 

“Today, we celebrate the visionary leadership and relentless
effort that created the foundation for us to complete and commission this
project,” he said.

 

”The project being commissioned today is only phases one and
two of the original plan.“

 

Oluyede said the barracks will accommodate 614 personnel —
170 officers and 444 soldiers and their families.

 

“I am very confident that we can achieve this goal with the
continued support from the federal governments and other stakeholders,” Oluyede
said.
