In a meaningful gesture, the CDS inaugurated a hospital project within the community, underscoring his dedication to enhancing the well-being of its residents. He also embarked on a trip down memory lane, visiting the Malam Yahaya Abdulkareem Model Primary School, formerly his alma mater from 1974 to 1980.

Adopting a people-centric approach, General Musa spearheaded the renovation of the Gwiwa Community Hospital, reconnecting with old neighbours and childhood friends.

The community, expressing their gratitude, came together to commend the CDS, displaying placards to convey appreciation for the newly commissioned hospital.
