During the visit, General Shaibu commended the wounded soldiers for their courage and sacrifice, noting that he personally understood the challenges of being injured in combat, having once been treated at the same facility.

He expressed confidence in the hospital’s management and urged the soldiers to adhere strictly to their treatment regimens.

The COAS also praised Brigadier General Godwin Ogoh, the hospital’s Medical Director, along with officers, soldiers, and civilian staff, for their professionalism and selfless service.
