In a bid to foster military/civilian relationship in the state, the Nigerian Army has carried out the monthly environmental sanitation in Niger State.
Reacting to the gesture, residents said the clean up by the army revived of monthly sanitation formerly introduced by the Federal Government and enforced in all states of the federation.
Therefore the government have been asked to consider the return of the exercise as this would engender sustainable cleaner environment especially in the face of mounting challenges across city centres.
The sanitation exercise, which was facilitated by the 31 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, took place at the popular Mobile Roundabout which includes the city center, opposite ECWA Church and the old Minna market premises.
According to the 31 Artillery Brigade commander, Brigadier General Gideon Temitope , the environmental sanitation exercise, apart from making the environment healthy and cleaner, is also aimed at ensuring and sustaining the cordial civil /military relationship in environments the military operates.
