The Nigerian Army underscores the significance of collaboration in addressing the challenges of terrorism.<\/p>\n
Nigeria\u2019s Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, made this appeal to the public in a video message recently released.<\/p>\n
He emphasized on how the armed forces are diligently working hard to make sure the country is free from such security threats.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWe have a history of safeguarding Africa and even participating in peacekeeping operations in Europe, so we have significant experience.”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cCurrently, Nigeria, as part of the international community, is dealing with asymmetric warfare, with non-state actors operating in different parts of the country.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIn the north-east, for 15 years, we\u2019ve faced issues with Boko Haram and ISWAP; in the north-west, banditry; the south-south has pipeline vandalism and sea piracy; and in the south-east, IPOB is pushing for secession.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cDespite all this, the armed forces remain resolute. We are a professional force, and we continue to enhance and intensify training, which is crucial for our troops.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe are also focusing on troop welfare, as it is essential for optimal performance.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOur efforts aim to restore peace so that children can return to school, markets can flourish, and Nigeria\u2019s economy can rebound, particularly in the south-south and other regions. We assure Nigerians of this.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAll we ask from Nigerians is continued belief in the country and support for the government, the armed forces, and other security agencies.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe cannot do it alone. We need everyone on board. It\u2019s a whole-of-society approach against these terrorists, bandits, and criminals.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe president has given us the mandate to restore total peace and security within the country, and we are working towards that. Together, we will succeed. That, I guarantee.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Nigerian Army underscores the significance of collaboration in addressing the challenges of terrorism.
