In a deliberate effort to enhance service delivery, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has on Thursday 12 December 2019 commissioned 3 newly constructed Blocks of residential apartments for Soldiers, Ratings and Airmen/Airwomen at the Mogadishu Military Cantonment, Abuja. The block of apartments consisting 54 flats furnished to taste was constructed to provide conducive living quarters for personnel of the Defence Headquarters and their families thereby mitigating the challenge posed by a dearth of accommodation in the Cantonment.
