Buratai Charges Troops on Resilient and Patriotism
In a renewed effort and determination in the fight to end
terrorism in Nigeria, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant
General Tukur Yusufu Buratai has again charged the resilient and
patriotic troops of “Super Camp” in Damboa, Borno State to exhibit
more professionalism and decisively deal with the crouching Boko
Haram Terrorists and the fledgling Islamic State West Africa
Province often terrorizing remote villages in the North East
zone.
This charge was conveyed by the representative of the COAS,
Chief of Logistics Army (COLOG ‘A’), Major General Enobong Udoh
while on operational visit to the troops of 25 Task Force Brigade
Operation LAFIYA DOLE on Sunday 23 June 2019.
According to him – “The COAS is very pleased with the efforts of
the troops in the general conduct of the operation in the fight
against terrorism, however, he urged you all to be more proactive,
pushful and unyielding in our collective struggles to end the
insurgency. You must continue to vigorously and patriotically
conduct simultaneous, pushful, short and long range clearance and
confidence building patrols/operations anywhere the bandits are
reportedly crouching’.
He added that, – ‘The new operational concept and strategy
initiated by the COAS has already started yielding tremendous
results which you must improve upon in defence of the territorial
integrity of this nation’.
He enjoined all officers assigned with command responsibilities
to be very courageous, determined and exemplary especially in the
battlefield in order to boost the morale and confidence of the
soldiers under command to gallantly and heroically fight in defence
of the country.
The COLOG was accompanied on the visit by the Theatre Commander
Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Major General Benson Akinroluyo, Corps
Commanders Nigerian Army Engineers, Electrical and Mechanical
