The 15 Field Engineering Regiment of the Nigerian Army, Topo, Badagry, has pledged to improve its relationship with the Lagos State University School of Basic Education and Advanced Studies (LASUSBAS).

Sagir Lawan, the regiment’s commanding officer, made the pledge during his courtesy visit to the institution in Badagry on Tuesday.

Mr Lawan said his visit to the institution was to strengthen the existing relationship between the army and LASUSBAS, which were just a few metres apart.

He also said the purpose of the visit was to improve mutual understanding of the school and its environs.

The commanding officer, who also visited the institution to gain firsthand knowledge of its premises and infrastructure, expressed satisfaction with what was on the ground.

Yunus Dauda, the director of LASUSBAS, revealed that the school would soon begin courses on defence and security.

According to Mr Dauda, this will allow interested officers to acquire more knowledge.

“Personnel of the Nigerian army are easy-going and friendly with people. On one side, we have the Nigerian Army, and on the other side, we have the Nigerian Navy. I always feel secure whenever I’m here.

“We had a cordial relationship with the previous commandant, and we assure you of our corporation.

“We hope that this relationship will extend to a comfortable end, as you can also enrol your child in our school. We recognise your magnanimity, humility, and simplicity,” he said.
