The Kaduna State Government has approved the allocation of land to the Nigerian Army for the establishment of new military bases in four local government areas of the state.
The approved sites are:
- Buruku in Igabi Local Government Area
- Samaru Kataf in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area
- Kachia Local Government Area
- Birnin Gwari Local Government Area
The decision was announced in a statement issued by Mansir Isah, Public Relations Officer to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government. It follows a request submitted by the Nigerian Army for land to establish additional military facilities in Kaduna.
During the presentation of the land documents, Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs Dr Sule Shuaibu represented Secretary to the State Government Dr Abdulkadir Mu'azu Mayere.
“The establishment of the military bases will strengthen security operations and improve the protection of communities in the affected areas,” Shuaibu said.
The Commander of the 41 Engineer Brigade, SOG Aremu, received the land documents on behalf of the General Officer Commanding 1 Division of the Nigerian Army. The statement did not disclose when construction of the proposed bases would commence.
