Buratai charges troops on commitment to fight against insurgency

The Chief Of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai,
has charged troops fighting insurgency in the north east
to remain committed and be focused toward routing the
insurgents.
Buratai gave the charge on Saturday in Jos, at the
celebration of West African Social Activities (WASA), by
3 Division Nigerian Army, Rukuba, Jos.
The COAS, who was represented by Maj. Gen. Rojas
Nicholas, Commander of Operation “Safe Haven”, said
that such focus was key to winning the war.
The army chief said that the military had made
significant achievements so far, and expressed
optimism that the war would soon be over.
He expressed happiness that WASA was being
celebrated after many years, and attributed that to the
prolonged fight against insurgency.
“Celebration of WASA is an indication that the fight is
almost over; I believe that by next year, when we will be
celebrating again, our children, soldiers and husbands
would be back,” he said.
Buratai expressed the determination of the Nigerian
Army to defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity and ensure
peace in all parts of the country. (NAN)
