The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, has attributed the successes recorded in the fight against insurgency in Nigeria to President Muhammadu Buhari’s political will and resilience of the troops.
He told newsmen in Ibadan yesterday, after a courtesy call on Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State that the troops had displayed commendable professionalism in the troubled region of the country.
Buratai, who led other top army officers, was in Ibadan to interact with the soldiers on their challenges in the state.
“The professionalism displayed in the troubled regions of the country by troops and the full support of all Nigerians are part of the secrets that has helped curtail the continuous assault of the dreaded terrorist group, “ he said.
Buratai said that the Nigerian Army had employed the same guerrilla approach used by the terrorist group in combating them.
He said that the Nigerian Army had added more capacity and ability with the introduction of motorbike battalion to move quickly to wherever the terrorists are before causing any havoc.
