Buhari to army: find strategies to address security challenges
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has urged the Army to come up with new strategies that will address security challenges and ensure eradication of insurgency.
He gave the directive yesterday in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital while opening this year’s Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference (COAS).
Buhari said the timeframe he gave to end Boko Haram insurgency should serve as a guide and “if exigencies of multiple operations across the country advises a modification, the Federal Government will not hesitate to do so”.
The president, who was represented by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin , explained that “the Nigerian Army must therefore intensify its current effort and develop new strategies that will address the current security challenges facing the country and ensure total eradication of insurgents”.
Buhari maintained that “the issue of global insecurity occasioned by non-state actors must rightly attract your attention,” adding that “the recent unfortunate and cowardly attacks in Paris and Mali are clear indicators of the reach of global terrorism”.
