Kwara govt to sink 10 boreholes at Sobi army barracks
The Kwara State Government has said that it would sink 10 boreholes at the 22 Armoured Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Sobi in Ilorin to ease problems of water scarcity in the barracks.
Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, who spoke when he visited the barracks, yesterday, said the gesture was in line with the QUICK win intervention programme of his administration.
He said the government would also assist in the renovation of more classrooms at the Army Children's Junior Secondary School to complement the one already rehabilitated.
Ahmed, who inspected some sections of the schools and teacher' quarters, further said the government would also take up the responsibility with a view to ensuring a conducive learning environment, thereby improving the welfare of officers and men in the barracks.
"The Sobi Barracks deserves to enjoy the support of the state government despite being the responsibility of the Federal Government. Since the beneficiaries of the services rendered are our children who will later take up the responsibility of the future of the nation and indeed the state, they deserve our support at all time," he said.
Ahmed then directed the officials of the state government to liaise with the authorities of the Army barracks in identifying critical areas of intervention within the next one week.
Responding, the Commanding Officer, Engineering, in the barracks, Lt.-Col. S. B. Danjuma said the facility had been facing serious water challenges for more than four months, expressing hope that the intervention would reduce the problem.
He commended the governor for the gesture and assured the government of "the continued support of the barracks."
