  • This is to show what the city of Minna looks like in 2023 for those who have never been here and those who have been here before but have been away for a long time. The city of the two generals, I'm referring to our former head of state, General Ibrahim Babangida and General Abdulsalam.

    Hey Bigwillz, this is nostalgic for me. I schooled in FUT Minna in the mid 90's and I remember this stretch of road. IBB did a great job with the roads in Minna and the water channels. It appears that the town is more populated than when I was a student. Great job you are doing! Well done.

    It looks like a village with one main road and few traffic lights that people do not know its function. The practice in Nigeria is to build infrastructure without maintenance. No authority is in charge of anything.

    I came to Minna for my NYSC in 1987 and left in 1992 after five years of working there. IBB poured money into Minna in1987-1992. Its disheartening to see that not much has changed in Minna since IBB's makeover of the City, almost 37 years ago. This road was dualized by Col David Mark in 1987 -88.

    Cantonment has several barracks and it is bigger compared to barracks. I think another huge difference is that cantonment holds a division while barracks holds brigades... I was raised in a cantonment so I hope I tried to answer in the best of my abilities.
