The Nigerian Army has constructed and handed over a modern primary school to the Tudun Biri community in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, the same community affected by an accidental airstrike on December 3, 2023.
The newly completed facility consists of two blocks housing seven classrooms, a staff room, and a head teacher’s office.
The project forms part of the Army’s civil-military cooperation initiative designed to support communities and foster lasting development.
Representing the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu, the General Officer Commanding 1 Division, Maj.-Gen. Abubakar Wase, officially handed over the school to the Kaduna State Government.
He explained that the Army is committed to improving access to education, particularly in communities rebuilding from tragedy.
Wase urged the Kaduna State Government to deploy qualified teachers and ensure full utilisation of the facility, while encouraging parents in Tudun Biri to enrol their children.
Receiving the project on behalf of the state, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr Sule Shu’aibu, assured that the government would provide adequate staffing and resources to make the school functional.
