Kaduna Approves New Army Bases In 4 LGAs To Tackle Insecurity
Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has approved the allocation of land for the establishment of additional Nigerian Army bases in four strategic locations across the state as part of renewed efforts to combat insecurity and protect lives and property.
The new military bases are expected to strengthen security operations in Buruku, Igabi Local Government Area; Samaru Kataf, Zangon Kataf LGA; Kachia LGA; and Birnin Gwari LGA, areas identified for enhanced military presence.
The approval followed a request by the Nigerian Army’s 1 Mechanised Division for land to establish additional bases aimed at boosting operational capacity and addressing security challenges in the affected communities.
The Secretary to the Kaduna State Government, Dr Abdulkadir Mu’azu Mayere, disclosed this during the formal handover of the land allocation documents to the Nigerian Army.
Mayere, who was represented by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Sule Shuaibu, SAN, said the approval underscored Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to strengthening security and promoting sustainable development across the state.
He said the establishment of the bases would enhance the operational capacity of the Nigerian Army and reinforce ongoing efforts to safeguard lives and property in vulnerable communities.
Receiving the documents on behalf of the General Officer Commanding, 1 Mechanised Division, the Commander of 41 Engineering Brigade, SOG Aremu, commended the governor for the gesture.
Aremu expressed the Nigerian Army’s appreciation for the Kaduna State Government’s continued support and cooperation in addressing security challenges.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
The development is expected to strengthen the military’s operational reach across the affected local government areas and support ongoing security efforts in Kaduna State.
