NIGERIAN ARMY CONSIDERABLY DOMICILE FORCE HEADQUARTER IN ENUGU

As oppose the general believes that the Nigerian army is building a Ruga settlement in Enugu, it was made clear that the Nigerian army is rather building a military HQ in the state and not a rug settlement.

The acting deputy director of the Nigerian army public relation officer Abubakar Abdullahi made this known on Wednesday as disclosed in a statement that was released.

Abdullahi added that there is no plan to establish Ruga settlement in any part of the South-East zones by the army. He however said a military training facility is being constructed in the community.

The statement read, “The 82 Division Nigerian Army has noted with utmost concern, a baseless allegation that the Division of the Nigerian Army is currently constructing a Ruga Settlement at Igbo-Etiti community of Udi Local Government Area, Enugu State.

Though this inciting broadcast emanates from a source bereft of credibility, there is need however to present the facts clearly for the sake of posterity. It must be emphasised that Nigerian Army Engineers are not constructing any Ruga Settlement in any part of Nigeria.

“Rather, the Engineers are currently constructing a military training facility at Igbo-Etiti Community of Udi Local Government Area, Enugu State. Upon completion, the facility will accommodate troops during training and aid to improve their efficiency in protecting law abiding citizens across the South-East.
