The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Jamal Abdussalam has unveiled the Nigerian Army Post Exchange (NAPEX) Supermarket in Port Harcourt Barracks.

While delivering his remarks, he reaffirmed that 6 Division under his watch will continue to prioritize the welfare of officers, soldiers, and families.

He made the assertion today, 4 October 2024, at the opening ceremony of the newly established NAPEX Supermarket, at Python Shopping Mall, Port Harcourt Barracks

The GOC, who was the Special Guest of Honour, further stated the operationalization of the Mall represents a critical step in the ongoing efforts to improve the welfare of troops and their families in Port Harcourt Barracks.

He emphasized that the 6 Division will continue to place high premium on efforts that promote sound administration and personnel welfare in line with the numerous activities of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), such Affordable Home Ownership Option for All Soldiers and many other people-centered welfare packages.

Major General Abdussalam also hinted that the NA has concluded arrangements to set up a gas plant in the barracks. This, he said, will afford the barracks community easy access to cooking gas at a reasonable cost while getting value for their money.

He maintained that these efforts are in line with engendering sound administration, a key pillar of the COAS, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja’s command philosophy.

The GOC stated that NAPEX has a proud and long tradition in NA of providing shopping experiences to troops at flexible and affordable rates.

He used the medium to reassure the COAS that the Division would continue to drive his command philosophy through impactful projects aimed at improving the effectiveness of Nigerian Army operations in service to the fatherland.
