“May God reward and strengthen you. Despite the difficulties of COVID-19, many of our Nigerian Army Officers are out there fighting the insurgents, but God will help us to strengthen our nation not only taking away the COVID-19, but also take away the insurgents that have bedevilled our nation. United we are stronger,” Aliyu stated, according to a statement by her media aide, Mr. Austine Elemue.
Receiving the palliative items, the Chief of Staff, Guards Brigade, Col. Kasim Sidi, thanked the FCT Administration for the gesture, adding that the palliative items would go a long way to cushion the effect of the sit-at-home order.
