The Nigerian Army Medical Centre at the Army Depot in Osogbo, Osun State, treats an average of 200 patients daily, including military personnel, their families and residents of neighbouring communities, an official has said.

Captain A. Hassan, Acting Officer Commanding the medical centre, disclosed this during a tour of military facilities by journalists and members of the presidential media team.

Hassan said the facility provides accident and emergency services, dental care, radiology, maternity services and physiotherapy, adding that civilians from neighbouring communities also benefit from its healthcare services.

He said the centre operates on solar power, providing an alternative source of electricity for its operations.

Speaking on the accommodation facilities at the depot, Major Yahaya Ibrahim, Assistant Director of Army Public Relations and Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Army Depot, Osogbo, said 5,210 recruits were currently undergoing training at the facility.

Ibrahim said the recruits were accommodated in 10 hostel blocks, each containing 30 rooms fitted with kitchens and bathrooms.

He explained that the rooms were equipped with double-decker beds to ensure adequate sleeping arrangements for the large number of trainees.

“The depot is currently training 5,210 recruits, and all of them are comfortably accommodated in this facility,” he said.

According to him, the depot also has three blocks of self-contained accommodation, each comprising 30 rooms, for personnel.

He said each of the rooms has a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, providing private accommodation for occupants.

Also speaking during the tour, Abiodun Bolade, a member of the Presidential Communication Team, said the facilities reflected the Tinubu administration’s investment in military welfare and infrastructure.

Bolade said the depot had the capacity to accommodate more than 5,500 recruits, adding that investments in schools and other facilities for soldiers’ families would help personnel concentrate on their military duties.

He said providing quality education for soldiers’ children would give personnel peace of mind, particularly those deployed to combat operations.

“When soldiers are in the theatre of war, they can focus on their assignments, knowing that their children are in good schools and their families are properly catered for,” he said.

Bolade also said military infrastructure projects were creating employment opportunities, citing a project in Ekiti State where more than 1,000 people were reportedly employed.

He commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, for the infrastructure development initiatives within the Nigerian Army.
