Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, yesterday
Satisfied with the level of work carried out by army engineers in the
reconstruction of internal roads within the Barracks at Onitsha,
Governor Peter Obi yesterday presented another cheque of N100 Million
Naira to the Army, bringing it to 200 million given to them so far for
the project.
Presenting the cheque, the Governor said that it
was in line with the policy of his Government to work with all the
Federal agencies in the State on the reason that all of them ultimately
serve the good of the State and her people. He regretted that before he
became Governor, that it was cat and mouse relationship between Anambra
Government and Security agencies in the State and that the State
suffered because of that. “If you remember, in those reckless era, the
State was, in 2004, burnt down. But I can assure you that with the level
of civility we have restored, such a thing would not happen again, the
Governor s aid.
Presenting the
cheque, Obi urged the army to continue to utilize the funds properly. He
said that Government was about collaboration with organizations of
goodwill that were willing to make sacrifices for the good of the
people. Using the Church as one organization working closely with the
State, the Governor said that since schools were returned back to the
Church and money given to them directly to rehabilitate the schools,
that the State had never been the same again.
The Governor who
said that his Government was committed to the upgrade of Onitsha said
that besides the roads, that he would be back to the barracks for the
rehabilitation of their schools.
Receiving the cheque, the
Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika said he decided to come in
person, because the Governor Obi was doing remarkably well for the
his State and the Army. He said he had received tremendous support from
him since his appointment. Unlike in the past, he said that Anambra
State was now enjoying peace under the leadership of Governor Obi. The
Chief of Staff commended the Commander of the 302 Artillery Regiment
under the Command of Col TA Gagariga, under whom old vehicles were
rehabilitated. He assured that his Office would continue to offer
support to all military formations in the country.
Besides the
presentation of the cheque, the Chief of Army staff extolled president
Goodluck Jonathan for his dedication and support to the Nigerian Army.
Thereafter, he commissioned some refurbished military vehicles in the
Barracks, including Prime Movers, Ammunition Carriers and Command Post
Vehicles.
Accompanying the Chief of Staff are the gOC of 82
Division, Gen. AA Olanuyi, the Commander of Corps of Artillery Major
General AK Kwaskebe, among others.
