“As directed by Nigerian Army Headquarters, we will continue to give you maximum security and even partner to do more.

“Whenever you need us, reach out and we will surely be there to see that you carry out your mandate hitch-free and unhindered.

“We also solicit that you share confidential security information with us to nip other forms of criminality in the bud since you live among the people and interact with them daily,” he said.

The GOC also solicited NAFDAC’s help in sanitising the Mammy Markets in all baracks with the Area of Responsibility of the Division.

“We want a serious partnership to rid our Mammy Markets of activities of unscrupulous traders and their collaborators.

“We are requesting an enforcement activities within our barracks and we are ready anytime you are ready for it,” he said.

“We are here to say thank you. The success of that coordinated enforcement operations is because the Nigerian Army remained on ground to the last minute of the enforcement operations.

On the need to sanitise Mammy Markets, the director noted that the agency would first carry out sanitisation workshop for traders in Mammy Markets as well as officers and men in various barracks.

“This is to ensure that the people are aware of what constitutes fake, expired and wholesome drugs, water, edibles and cosmetics products and join NAFDAC to monitor activities in their markets, malls and shops within each barrack,” he added.
