31 Artillery Brigade Commander orders troops to stay alert at Niger Power Plant

Brigadier General Kabir Rabiu, commanding the 31st Artillery Brigade, has instructed troops stationed at the Zungeru Hydroelectric Power Plant to maintain heightened awareness and shun distractions that could jeopardize the security of this vital national infrastructure. During a series of inspection visits conducted on Monday and Tuesday, the Commander toured the ZHPP and Zungeru Cemetery as part of operational familiarisation within his Brigade's jurisdiction.

Rabiu's remarks emphasized the importance of discipline, cautioning personnel against the unauthorized use of smartphones and social media, as well as the detrimental effects of drug abuse, betting, and gambling on their discipline, well-being, and operational efficiency.

Upon reaching the power plant, Rabiu engaged with the facility's management, lauding the troops for their commitment to safeguarding the strategic installation. The Power Plant Manager, Engineer Alfa Isah, expressed gratitude to the troops for their professionalism and steadfast dedication to protecting the critical site. Earlier in the week, Rabiu paid a visit to the Niger State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), where he urged a deeper collaboration and information sharing among security agencies to combat banditry and other criminal elements.

He emphasized the necessity of timely intelligence exchange and mutual support in safeguarding lives, property, and critical national facilities.

The Commander also paid a visit to the 313 Artillery Regiment, where he was briefed on its operational and administrative activities. Commending the officers and soldiers for their sacrifices, Rabiu urged them to uphold discipline, professionalism, and operational readiness. The series of inspections was undertaken by the 31st Artillery Brigade to evaluate ongoing operations, fortify troop morale, and enhance security cooperation with partner agencies and managers of critical infrastructure.
