“We also don’t have to look for virgin land since there is a Command School in Ede. I’m happy that you acknowledged that our state still remains the most peaceful in the country. Ede is a very secure place for such a school. Our people are also very friendly and accommodating.“We appreciate the gesture; we are very eager, ready and willing to support this noble project.”
“In 2017, the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Tukur Buratai, established the Women Corps. This year, he mooted the idea of establishing the girls’ military schools which will combine academic and military trainings for young women, particularly for those aspiring to take up careers in the military.
