The General Officer Commanding 6 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Everest Okoro, has said family support remains central to the career and duties of military personnel, speaking when he received the Nigerian Army Officers Wives Association, 6 Division Chapter, in Port Harcourt.
The Chairperson of the association, Engineer Mrs Jane Mma Okoro, led members on a courtesy visit to Headquarters 6 Division, Port Harcourt Barracks, Rivers State, on August 18, 2026.
Major General Okoro said military spouses carry a heavy share of the responsibility of running the home front while personnel are away on duty, allowing troops to stay focused on their assignments. He commended their sacrifices and pledged his support for the welfare of troops and the wider barracks community.
Mrs Okoro congratulated the GOC on his new appointment and said the visit was meant to familiarise the association with Headquarters 6 Division and build a working relationship with its new leadership.
She said NAOWA would keep engaging the Division’s leadership on matters affecting the welfare of military families and personnel, noting the association’s programmes are built around supporting the wellbeing of troops and their households.
The visit closed with the signing of the visitors book, an exchange of souvenirs and a group photograph.
