He commended officers, soldiers, staff, and partners whose commitment made the project a reality.
The state-of-the-art facility boasts a guest house, car park, worship centre, modern workspaces, a conference room, mini auditorium, internet infrastructure, and a 500 KVA transformer, among other amenities, providing a conducive environment for effective operations and administration.
The commissioning ceremony was attended by former Chiefs of Army Staff, Lieutenant Generals Tukur Yusuf Buratai (Rtd) and Faruk Yahaya (Rtd), the Chairman of NAPL, senior officers, and both serving and retired personnel from across the Nigerian Army.
