ARMY ASSURES FGC OHAFIA OF STRONGER SECURITY AS PRINCIPAL RAISES ALARM OVER COLLAPSED WALL
The Commander of 14 Brigade Nigerian Army, Ohafia, Brigadier General Ahmad Mansur Dikko, has assured students and staff of Federal Government College (FGC) Ohafia of enhanced security and closer collaboration with the school management.
Brig Gen Dikko gave the assurance on Thursday, October 16, 2025 when the new Principal of FGC Ohafia, Mrs. Akala Modupe Ayodele, paid a familiarization visit to the Brigade Headquarters in Ohafia.
Welcoming the Principal and her team, the Brigade Commander congratulated Mrs. Ayodele on her appointment and commended her for deeming it necessary to visit the Brigade.
He assured that the Brigade will continue to work with the school to ensure safety of students and staff, and directed the Principal to maintain direct liaison with the Garrison Commander, Lieutenant Colonel J.S. Wudah, for prompt response to any security concerns.
He also noted the accommodation challenges facing teachers in the school and advised the management to channel such issues through appropriate authorities while the Brigade continues to play its supportive role.
In her remarks, Mrs. Ayodele thanked the Commander for his warm reception and appealed for sustained military presence around the school premises, especially following the collapse of part of the school’s perimeter fence wall which has exposed the school to intruders.
She described FGC Ohafia as a Unity School with students from all parts of Nigeria, stressing that security remains a top priority.
The visit is seen as part of efforts to strengthen civil-military relations in Ohafia LGA and reassure parents over safety of their children in the college.
