In an interview with newsmen after the visit, Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sagir Musa said the visit was primarily to see Operations LAFIYA DOLE and SAHEL SANITY wounded in action troops that are receiving treatment  at the hospital. “It is also a working visit to see comprehensive upgrade of facilities at 44 Reference Hospital Kaduna.

“He specifically came to see patients of Operation Lafiya Dole and Operation Sahel Sanity recuperating at the hospital,” he added. Sagir further said as you can see the army chief is highly impressed and has commended the Director of the hospital and Commander Nigerian Army Medical Corps for a job well done so far.

“While in Jaji yesterday, Gen. Buratai also commissioned several projects which included Corporal and below quarters, – housing over 100  families, married officers’ quarters, Signal Wing at the Nigerian Army School of Infantry. He used the opportunity, as usual, to climb the  Infantry hill which is steep and sloppy hill used in testing the physical fitness and ability of both officers and soldiers,” he added.
