During the inauguration ceremony, Lieutenant General Shaibu described NAPL as a strategic partner in actualizing his command philosophy, which is focused on “Transforming the Nigerian Army into a more professional, adaptable, combat-ready, and resilient force capable of effectively fulfilling its constitutional responsibilities within a joint and multi-agency environment.”

He noted that NAPL has consistently contributed to improving the welfare and living standards of officers, soldiers, and their families. The new headquarters, he said, symbolizes the organisation’s growth, increased capacity, and central role in supporting the Army’s long-term development goals.

The COAS expressed profound appreciation to the Chairman of NAPL, Lieutenant General Lamidi Adeosun (Rtd), as well as former Chiefs of Army Staff, the Group Managing Director and other stakeholders for their “vision, commitment and unwavering dedication” to the welfare of troops. He also extended gratitude to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his strong support, which has enabled several reforms and operational successes across the service.

Earlier, the Group Managing Director/CEO of NAPL, Brigadier General Isa Doma (Rtd), stated that the completion of the ultra-modern headquarters reflects the company’s renewed capacity for improved service delivery, enhanced staff motivation, and operational efficiency. He lauded officers, soldiers, staff, and partners whose efforts made the project possible.

The newly commissioned facility includes a guest house, car park, worship centre, modern workspaces, a conference room, mini auditorium, upgraded internet infrastructure, and a 500 KVA transformer, among other amenities designed to improve productivity and comfort.

The event was attended by former Chiefs of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai (Rtd) and Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya (Rtd), the Chairman NAPL, Lieutenant General Lamidi Adeosun (Rtd), principal staff officers from Army Headquarters, senior officers, and other dignitaries.
