Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai has disclosed that there are plans to review the counter-terrorism operations in the Northeast so as to improve troops performance.
He made the disclosure on Tuesday while addressing troops of the 7 Division Tactical Headquarters of the Nigerian Army in Bama, Borno State.
He also said that the planned review would be used to address lapses observed in the troops operations.
"I want to assure you that as soon as you are through with this phase, we will readjust the policy for this operation.
"We will readjust the deployment, we will re-strategize so that we will have a very new approach to fighting this insurgency.
"We will try to provide all the logistics that you need in this operation.
"For those of you who have been here for some time, you can see the difference, we have tried to change the way things were done,’’ he said.
Buratai urged the troops to sustain the momentum until all terrorists are cleared from Sambisa forest.
He noted that the Sambisa forest operation tagged 'Operation Clampdown' is key to defeating Boko Haram insurgents in the country.
"I want to say well done for operation Lafiya Dole and for the special operation, `Operation Crack Down’. I am satisfied with the brief from your General Officer Commanding (GOC).
"This operation is very crucial in the overall plan of Operation Lafiya Dole and the Federal Government’s plan to end insurgency in the northeast.
"Your GOC has assured me that you guys will not waste time in this forest, you must smoke them out quickly and face other areas so that you can reunite with your families in good time.
"We are here today to say well done; President Muhammadu Buhari is happy with you and so are other Nigerians,’’ he said.
