The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, has tasked troops to shore up their
commitment and productivity in order to effectively secure their areas of responsibility.
Gen Yahaya, who gave this task while on an operational visit to the 6 Division Area of Responsibility, Port Harcourt, further urged personnel of the Division to redouble their efforts towards achieving set operational targets.
This is even as he commissioned 5 blocks of 60 single-bedroom flats, to ease the dearth of accommodation for soldiers of the rank of Corporal and below in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement, quoted the COAS as saying, the newly completed project will bring succour to personnel, as it provides them with decent living accommodation and other infrastructures.

Gen. Yahaya maintained that his administration will continue to take the welfare of soldiers very seriously and always implement measures that will boost their morale.
Aside from the newly commissioned buildings, another set of 6 blocks of 30 flats each, were also renovated and have been occupied by soldiers and their families.
Gen Yahaya also inspected 20 Vehicles refurbished by the Division for onward deployment into ongoing operations.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of keys to beneficiaries of the new blocks of accommodation by the COAS.
