President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, charged the newly appointed service chiefs to end Boko Haram attacks within three months.
"You need to brace up and continue to team up with other stakeholders to come up with a well coordinated joint effort which will bring a desired end to these insurgencies within three months," Buhari said while swearing in the service chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The president added that the activities of the insurgents had led to reckless destruction of lives and properties of Nigerians as well as a disruption of the socioeconomic life of the North East region.
The Boko Haram insurgency which began six years ago has left over 15000 dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. Under the immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan, the Islamist militants captured swathes of land which they labeled Islamic territories, renaming some ancient cities in the process.
However, the military regained some of the territories from the terrorists in the weeks leading to the last general elections.
