Army names new complex after the late Ibrahim Attahiru
Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, Chief of army staff, has opened a new office complex named after the late army chief Lt.-Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, who died in a military plane crash in May 2021.
The office is located at the headquarters of the joint task force, North East, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), in Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri, Borno State.
Army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement on Thursday, said the gesture was to honour Attahiru for his contributions and sacrifice toward uplifting the Nigerian Army.
Nwachukwu also said the new facility would provide befitting offices to meet the demands of the recent expansion and restructuring of the counter-terrorism operation in the region.
The spokesman quoted the army chief as saying the facility would provide an environment conducive for the staff officers and administrative staff to perform their duties.
