Chief of Army Staff, Gen Tukur Buratai has declared a new phase in the counter-insurgency operations to rout Boko Haram terrorists.
In a message to the troops serving in the Northeast on Friday, Buratai said that a new phase in the battle against insurgents is imminent.
According to General Buratai,
“The next few days will be crucial to Operation Lafiya Dole. It is also crucial to our country Nigeria.
“Our sovereignty as a nation is threatened. The Nigerian Army and indeed the military, as the symbol of our nationhood, is being challenged.
“Our ability to stand and defeat the Boko Haram terrorists in the next few weeks will determine the future of our country.
“We cannot afford to lose the fight. We are better trained and better equipped.
“The whole nation is behind us. Mr President is with us. Let us remain steadfast in this noble cause. Be courageous.
“We must degrade and defeat the terrorists. This job must be done.
“We must make our country men and women proud.
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life, sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility."
He reminded the troops that being better armed and better trained, they are duty bound to achieve a final and decisive victory over Boko Haram.
