- The Chief of Defence Staff instructs Nigerian Army troops to proactively seek and eliminate Boko Haram terrorists to protect civilians
- The troops are urged to focus on locating and neutralizing the insurgents to eliminate the Boko Haram threat effectively
The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Christopher Musa, has issued a directive to the Nigerian Army troops, emphasizing the importance of actively seeking and eliminating Boko Haram terrorists before they threaten Nigerians.
Musa conveyed this directive to the troops of Operation Hadin Kai during a gathering at the Maimalari cantonment in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.
He further urged the troops to engage with the insurgents proactively and not merely be present in the theatre of operations. Musa highlighted that a soldier who completes their duty without killing at least one Boko Haram fighter is not fulfilling their role.
Musa stressed the need for the troops to seek out the terrorists rather than wait to react to their attacks. He emphasized that the focus should be on locating and neutralizing Boko Haram members to eliminate their threat.
He also shared that President Bola Tinubu recognizes and appreciates the sacrifices and commitment of the troops in the fight against insurgency in Nigeria. The President expressed his satisfaction with their efforts and encouraged them to continue their work, indicating that the battle is not over. Still, they are on the right track to bring an end to the Boko Haram threat eventually.
How Tinubu can fix Nigeria – Pastor Ashimolowo
Matthew Ashimolowo, senior pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), has suggested recommendations on how President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can fix Nigeria and eliminate its current challenges.
Ashimolowo, who was on a visit to the city office of The Sun Publishing Limited, Ikeja, Tuesday, said there were several disequilibria in Nigeria as currently structured and advocated a total overhaul of the subsisting 1999 Constitution, restructuring and devolution of powers to the regions, and involvement of youths in politics.
He lamented that although the majority of the resources that sustain Nigeria are located in the southern belt of the country, the region remains neglected in the distribution of infrastructural development.
