The 4 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Benin City, has empowered three public schools in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo State with instructional materials worth several thousands of Naira. 

The benefitting schools are Ugoneki Primary School, Ogbe primary school, Ehor and Ehor Grammar school,  all in Uhunmwode Local Government Area.

DailyMonitorngr reports that the 4 Brigade Commander, Brig-Gen. Dalanmi Ndahi, who presented the items to the schools, said it was part of the Chief of Army Staff's efforts to promote and sustain the existing cordial civil-military relationships between the people of the community and the military.

Ndahi added that the gesture was the army's way to appreciate the community for the warm welcome accorded its personnel who had established a camp within the community.

According to him, this is just a token of our appreciation to the community for the space you gave to us when we established a camp for our operation water project two months ago.

"Though our presence has also ensured safety of lives and property in the community and other neighbouring communities, we appreciate the existing existing cordial civil-military relationships between us.

"These instructional materials are to reciprocate that gesture  and our way to give back to the community to promote the academic pursuit of the pupils and students", he said.

Responding, the Enogie of Ehor community, His Royal Highness, Osagie Igiehon, commended  the military command for the gesture.

Igiehon added that the people of Ugoneki community were grateful for the water project which now provides the people with source of portable water supply.

The royal father opined that it was gratifying to know that in spite of the military statutory role of defending the territorial borders, it still found time to provide social  basic amenities to its host communities.

He expressed satisfaction over the military's presence within the locality, which he noted had restored confidence and safety for the people and travellers who ply the Benin-Auchi highway. 

Recall that Dailymonitorngr had reported that the Brigade Command also provided free healthcare services to over 500 residents of Ehor community in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo State.
