BUA Foundation Commits N2b For Soldiers’ Quarters
The Abdul Samad Rabiu Africa Initiative (ASR Africa), the philanthropic initiative of the Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, has kicked off the construction of 120 family housing units.
The quarters are meant to accommodate junior military personnel in the Nigerian Army.
Speaking at the ground breaking at the Muhammadu Buhari Cantonment Giri, in Abuja yesterday, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of ASR Africa, Dr. Ubon Udoh, said the funds for the project are part of the N10 billion Security Support Fund donated by ASR Africa in 2022 to the Nigerian Armed Forces and security agencies.
The Nigerian Army, he said, was allocated N2 billion.
Udoh reiterated that this donation is to further support security agencies as there can be no meaningful development without adequate peace and security in the nation.
He further commended the leadership of the Nigerian Army for prioritizing the welfare of its men and women, promising continued support by the ASR team in ensuring the full implementation and delivery of the project.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, appreciated the Chairman of ASR Africa and BUA group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, for his gesture to the Nigerian Army.
He added that this support will further boost the morale of the personnel in delivering adequate security to Nigerians.
The high point of the event was the laying of foundation for the 120 Units of Family Corporal and Below Quarters (CBQ) by Udoh and Lieutenant Gen. Lagbaja.
