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 teachers’ quarters, further said the government would also take up the responsibility with a view to ensuring a condusive 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.
