Wulgo
The Force Commander of the Multinational Joint Task Force
(MNJTF) , Major General Ibrahim Manu Yusuf earlier today visited
troops of the Task Force in Mora and Fatokol in the Republic of
Cameroun and Wulgo in Nigeria. The visit was in continuation of the
Force Commander’s familiarization tour of MNJTF formations.
Addressing officers and soldiers in Mora, the Headquarters of
Sector One and other locations (Fatokol and Wulgo), Major General
Ibrahim thanked the Commander Sector One, Brigadier General Boubba
Dobekreo for facilitating a harmonious working relationship between
his troops and their counterparts from Nigeria. He urged other
Sector Commanders to emulate Brigadier General Dobekreo’s defence
diplomacy, as that is the first step to building a resilient
coalition necessary to finally defeat Boko Haram.
Speaking further, Major General Ibrahim commended Sector One for
their untiring efforts in ensuring good civil military relations.
He noted that protecting civilians and their property from Boko
Haram is one sure way of winning their confidence and trust and
ultimately their support. “If you lose the local population you
have lost the war”, Major General Ibrahim added. While in the
Sector Headquarters, Major General Ibrahim visited the hospital
where both soldiers and civilians on admission are provided free
medicare by the Sector.
In Wulgo, the Force Commander commended officers and soldiers
for their dedication and patriotism. He paid tribute to the gallant
officers and soldiers who have paid the supreme price. He assured
that their sacrifices would not be in vain. The Force Commander
hinted that troops welfare would remain his top priority.
Earlier in his brief, Brigadier General Dobekreo congratulated
the Force Commander on his appointment. He recalled their
partnership during Force Commander’s tour of duty in 7 Division and
assured him of similar cooperation throughout his tour as Force
Commander.
