Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, and the General Officer Commanding 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Abukabar Sadiq Maikobi, for the support they offer the state in the area of security and peace advocacy.
Governor Ugwuanyi also applauded all officers, men of 82 Division and the military for the contributions towards peaceful conduct of the 2019 general elections in Enugu State.
The governor made the commendations during the division’s 2018 West African Social Activities (WASA), held at its Parade Ground, Abakpa Cantonment, Enugu, yesterday. 
The governor, who felicitated with officers and men of 82 Division, on the age-long socio-cultural annual event “aimed at fostering comradeship and unity among personnel of the army,” congratulated them for “the many achievements recorded last year, particularly, in the area of infrastructure development, training of personnel and the empowerment of widows of dead soldiers.”
He disclosed that his administration, through the division,  continues to maintain the long tradition of mutual understanding, cooperation and assistance between the state and the army.
The governor, therefore, reassured the military that “we will certainly continue to offer you our necessary support and assistance towards the effective discharge of your very patriotic responsibilities.”
Earlier in his address, Maj.  Gen. Maikobi described the event as “one of the rich traditions of the army, which is aimed at promoting team spirit, espirit-de-corps and providing an avenue for the barrack community to showcase the various rich and diverse cultural endowment of our great country.”
The GOC thanked governor Ugwuanyi for his presence at the event and numerous contributions towards the successes recorded, so far, by the division, especially the empowerment of wives of fallen heroes, stressing that the gesture has gone a long way to alleviate their sufferings.

He assured the governor that “the 82 Division will remain focused, dedicated and resilient in order to fully consolidate on the achievements recorded last year.”
Maj. Gen. Maikobi lauded all the officers and soldiers of the division for their “efforts, dedication, selflessness and discipline exhibited so far” and urged them “to remain committed in the discharge of our collective responsibilities of ensuring peace, security and stability across the Division AOR.”
