The projects, aimed at winning the hearts and minds of Nigerians, have been undertaken to support government efforts in mitigating security challenges.
The COAS made this disclosure while commissioning projects in Lutheran Primary School, Nung Udoe, Akwa Ibom State, including the rehabilitation of classrooms, construction of a perimeter fence, borehole, and toilet facilities. He emphasized the Nigerian Army’s commitment to civil-military cooperation and non-kinetic efforts to enhance the socio-cultural well-being of communities.
