“Aside from the noticeable improvement from my last visit to her, she was in high spirits and we interacted cordially.
“I am impressed and must commend the Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen Taoreed Lagbaja for the top notch care and attention given to her by the Army through the deployment of their personnel to the facility.
