These projects include, “Mobile Hospital, a borehole providing water to the community of Tafa.”
The team commended the Nigerian government for its “dedication” to ensuring the projects are functioning for the benefit of Nigerians.
According to US Mission Nigeria: “A USAFRICOM team led by Captain Temitope Oladimeji and Sergeant Naif Hernandez assessed the effectiveness of U.S. military funded humanitarian projects in Nigeria.
“For over a decade, the U.S. military has funded 2.5 million dollars in projects benefiting Nigerian citizens.
“These include a Mobile Hospital to the Federal Medical Centre in Jaji, a borehole providing water to the community of Tafa, and the subject matter expertise to develop the National Disaster Response Plan.
“While the U.S. initially funded these efforts, the dedication of the Nigerian government, military leaders, and local population have kept the projects functioning so they may continue benefiting Nigerian citizens.”
