The Federal Government has assured of a housing scheme for the officers and men of the Nigerian Army including those fighting Boko Haram war in the North-East zone of Nigeria.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai who disclosed this whilst speaking to journalists in Enugu assured that as soon as those soldiers disengage from service, they would occupy their own houses.
Lt. Gen. Buratai stated that aside their various insurance entitlements, the soldiers are also entitled to loan from the Federal Government Loan Board through the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), “So that as soon as they are retiring, they will be occupying their own houses”.
“Also, in the army, we have quite a number of housing projects which the Post-Housing Development Directorate of the army is working on; officers and soldiers subscribe to such schemes where they will choose anywhere they want to settle after retirement to get houses built for them”, the Army chief added.
