It as been revealed that the Federal Government has a housing scheme for the army officers and men, including those fighting Boko Haram war in the North-East zone of Nigeria.
Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, disclosed this whilst speaking to journalists in Enugu.
He assured that as soon as those soldiers disengage from service, they will occupy their own houses.
Lt Gen Buratai said that beside 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).
He said, “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.
