Ladies and Gentlemen

I feel greatly honoured to welcome you this morning to this auspicious occasion of the commissioning ceremony of the newly constructed Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Barracks here in Asokoro, Abuja.  My joy on this occasion stems from the fact that with this exercise the Nigerian Army will have succeeded in granting accommodation to at least 105 of its personnel and their families within the Federal Capital Territory and by June another set of 105 families would have been accommodated, bringing it to a total of 210 families.  But as crucial as it is, this exercise goes beyond merely providing accommodation for its personnel.  It serves to mark the accomplishment of a very novel approach in looking inwards and utilizing available resources for the maximum benefit of the service, the personnel and the Nigerian nation generally.  Precisely, this project was conceived by the present leadership of the Nigerian Army and executed from November 2008 through Direct Labour by the Nigerian Army Engineers.  There is no gain saying that by this approach, the Nigerian Army has cut down on its cost by more than 80%.
