“So let me commend you for the wonderful performance and the way you have conducted yourselves in OPLD.

“We will do everything possible to ensure your comfort, especially (that of) your families in the barracks.“Your welfare will be improved in the year 2020 and so you have to put in your best and ensure that you uphold the trust of the Federal Government.

“We must ensure that we don’t allow these criminals to come back again,” he concluded.
