FG Assures Military of Logistics for War on
Terror
The
President and Commander-in Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of
Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the military that his government
would provide the necessary logistics needed to successfully prosecute the
on-going war against the Boko Haram Terrorists.
Speaking on
behalf of the President, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General
Babagana Munguno (rtd) gave the reassurance during his visit to operational
areas in the North-Eastern part of the country in the company of the Service
Chiefs and Inspector General of Police.
While
addressing officers and men of the Nigerian Air Force in Yola, General Monguno:
“I am telling you this, and you can take it as if it is coming from Mr
President himself that you are going to be given everything you require, not
only for the operation but for your personal welfare. This is an assurance I
want to give you.”
Against the
background of the recent Presidential directive to the Service Chiefs to defeat
the Boko Haram Terrorist (BHT) group in 3-months, the NSA gave the purpose of
the operational visit as to enable his team to assess the situation on ground
and relate with the troops with a view to adequately identify and address
observed challenges facing the troops.
Speaking
further, the NSA noted that the NAF has brought a lot of noticeable
improvements in the war against the terrorists due to the aerial support
provided to the ground troops, hence he commended NAF personnel for their
commitment and patriotism while urging them to keep the spirit high and to
remain steadfast in their resolve to stand-up against the Boko Haram
Terrorists.
The
operational areas visited by the NSA and his team include Damaturu, Maiduguri
and Yola in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States.
