The Importance of Water in Nigerian Army Barracks: Challenges and Solutions
The previous article reported on the difficulties faced by soldiers and their families in Nigerian army barracks in terms of access to water. The Command of the 14th Ohafia Brigade reacted to this article by highlighting the efforts undertaken to improve the situation.
The Command recognizes that the issue of water distribution in barracks has been a major challenge for some time. However, he wishes to emphasize that numerous actions have already been taken to mitigate the impact of this situation on the living conditions of soldiers and their families.
Lieutenant Innocent Omale, spokesperson for the Command, explains that since the appointment of the current Brigade Commander, he has been proactive in his desire to resolve the problem of defective wells in the barracks. Through his diligent efforts, some wells were repaired, ensuring a relatively stable water supply. In addition, the duration of electricity supply was extended through the use of generators to support water pumping, thus improving the living conditions of soldiers and their families.
These initiatives demonstrate the Command’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being and comfort of personnel and their families in the barracks. Additional efforts are currently underway to improve the availability of water as well as other social infrastructure within the barracks. The Command thus strives to guarantee practical and comfortable living conditions for soldiers and their families.
It is important to emphasize that the Brigade is aware of the urgency of resolving these issues quickly and remains dedicated to the well-being of its personnel and their families.
It is encouraging to note that concrete steps have been taken to address the difficult situation regarding access to water in the Nigerian Army barracks. However, much remains to be done to ensure adequate living conditions for our soldiers and their families.
