The 82 Division, Nigerian Army, will hold its West African
Social Activities (WASA) on Saturday 30th March 2019 by 2:00pm prompt at 82 Division Parade Ground Abakpa Cantonment Enugu.
Historically, WASA which dates back to the Second World War is a revered tradition of the Nigerian Army during which Officers, Soldiers and their families interact and socialize in a relaxed atmosphere to mark the end of the year’s activities thereby
enhancing espirit-de-corps within the command.
It is also a great avenue to thank God and appreciate Nigerian Army personnel for their selfless contributions to the success in the out gone year (2018) while ushering the New Year.
