The Yobe State Government has clarified that the Nigerian Army Special Forces School in Buni Yadi remains fully operational, dispelling concerns over its status following the establishment of a new Special Forces School in Doma, Nasarawa State.
In an official statement, Brig. Gen. Dahiru Abdulsalam (rtd), Special Adviser on Security Matters to the Yobe State Governor, confirmed that the Buni Yadi facility has been redesignated as the Nigerian Army Acclimatization Centre.
The Centre retains its vital function of conducting pre-deployment training and acclimatization for troops inducted into the Northeast Theatre of Operations.
Gen. Dahiru emphasized that while the Nigerian Army’s new Special Forces Command Headquarters in Doma necessitated a co-located training school, the Buni Yadi facility continues to serve as a strategic hub for preparing troops engaged in counterinsurgency operations.
“The school in Buni Yadi is not relocating—it remains fully active and integral to military operations in the Northeast,” he affirmed.
He also commended Yobe residents for their steadfast support of the Nigerian Army and their commitment to regional security.
The statement further reassures the public that Buni Yadi maintains its critical role in national security, reinforcing Yobe State’s position as a key player in Nigeria’s counterterrorism efforts.
