The General Officer Commanding 82 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Adamu Baba Abubakar has visited the Nigerian Army (NA) School of Military Engineering(NASME), Makurdi Benue State.

He was at the school as the Special Guest of Honour at the graduation ceremony of trainees of Fish Farming Course. At the occasion, General Abubakar issued certificates to 25 graduands of the three months Course conducted by the school for the benefit of selected interested women of the NASME Cantonment.

It would be recalled that in view of the importance the Nigerian Army places on the welfare of troops and their families, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TY Buratai has in his wisdom, initiated and successfully ensured the actualization of the establishment of Barracks Investment Initiative Programme(BIIP) in all the NA barracks and cantonments across the nation.

Consequently, in line with the COAS directive which is to improve on the welfare of troops and their families among others, the Commandant NASME, Major General AO Shodanke ensured the establishment of various agro allied businesses, skills acquisition training programmes and cooperative societies for NASME community.

The focus is to ensure that barracks women, youths and the unemployed graduates and other school leavers in the barracks are gainfully employed in agro related businesses which could empower them financially to meet their basic necessities of life.
