In a deliberate effort to enhance service delivery, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has on Thursday 12 December 2019 commissioned 3 newly constructed Blocks of residential apartments for Soldiers, Ratings and Airmen/Airwomen at the Mogadishu Military Cantonment, Abuja.

The CDS stated further, that the DHQ places high premium on the welfare of personnel, reiterating continuous commitment to execution of welfare projects to boost the morale of personnel and enhance their productivity.
Earlier in his remarks, the Director of Engineering Services, DHQ, Major General John Enenche extoled the CDS for prioritizing the welfare needs of DHQ personnel. He urged occupants of the new apartments to ensure adequate maintenance of the facilities provided. High point of the occasion was the presentation of keys to the beneficiaries by the CDS’ representative.
