The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, has expressed satisfaction with the success recorded by troops fighting insurgency in the North-East.
Represented by Maj. Gen. Hassan Umar, the Chief of Training and Operation, Buratai made the statement on Monday during the Combat Support Arms Training Week at the 7 Division Headquarters in Maiduguri.
“I am glad to state that significant progress has been made and several successes recorded especially in the current operation.
“Our troops have been able to carry out timely and synchronised operations in the theatre thereby denying the Boko Haram terrorists freedom of action.
“This, therefore, calls for more coveted efforts and synergy by all to achieve the desired end state of enduring peace and development in the country.
“Success in battle depends largely on the support provided by the supporting arms. We shall continue to do our best within available resources to make improvement in our overall well being.
“The COASAT week is in line with the actualisation of my vision of enhancing professionalism in the Nigeria Army through seminars, management retreat and training excercises for responsiveness to constitutional roles,’’ he said.
