The Nigerian Army's 7 Division, Sector 1 Joint Task Force, North East Operation Hadin Kai recently unveiled new housing units at the Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri 
The Army Headquarters has launched a new project to tackle the ongoing housing issues that soldiers in the area have been dealing with for a while.

Brigadier General AGL Haruna, the acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division, emphasized the importance of ensuring that troops have suitable housing, especially in light of the ongoing security challenges in the area.

"Some military personnel are required to reside off-base because there isn't enough housing available at the cantonment, which could potentially put security at risk," he explained.

The recently built housing units consist of two-bedroom apartments designed for Corporals and lower-ranking individuals, providing living space for 24 families.

The project was constructed by the Directorate of Procurement at Army Headquarters, while the residence for the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) of the 47 Engineer Brigade was built by the Nigerian Army Special Projects.

The Directorate of Procurement at Army Headquarters oversaw the construction of the project, whereas the residence for the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) of the 47 Engineer Brigade was developed by the Nigerian Army Special Projects.

These units come with essential facilities and are designed to enhance the living standards of military personnel, thereby boosting their operational preparedness.

The Army Headquarters has given the green light for the refurbishment of existing housing blocks and the building of new ones in the cantonment area.

The GOC confirmed that there are also plans in progress to set up solar-powered boreholes and street lighting to enhance infrastructure.

He praised the soldiers for their commitment and sacrifices in the battle against insurgency in the region.
