Senior Information Officer, Ebah Elvis Jiyovwi, disclosed this in a statement, highlighting the Ministry’s strategic vision.

Ambassador Aduda inspected the newly completed 100-bed Medical Interns Accommodation Facility at the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital (NARH) in Kaduna. The state-of-the-art complex features en-suite rooms, fully equipped common areas, recreational lounges, and an alternative solar power system, designed to provide a comfortable and sustainable living environment for medical interns. “By investing in quality living conditions, we empower our interns to focus on their responsibilities without distraction, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes for our gallant men and women in uniform,” Aduda stated after the tour.

Aduda expressed satisfaction with the quality of the facility, noting that dignified accommodation plays a critical role in improving the performance and morale of healthcare professionals within the Armed Forces. He also underscored the importance of reliable infrastructure such as steady power supply and well-equipped communal areas.

In a related development, Aduda conducted an assessment visit to the Special Operations Forces Training Ground at the Nigerian Army School of Infantry, Camp Kabala, where he commended the high standards of discipline and operational readiness demonstrated by the personnel. Ebah Elvis Jiyovwi noted that these visits underscore the Ministry’s broader strategic vision to strengthen operational capacity and enhance the welfare of military personnel through sustained investment in infrastructure and human capital.
