Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (rtd), has directed the service chiefs to visit the northwest and north-east to rejig military operations.
The directive came during a meeting on Wednesday at the ministry of defence, where Musa met with service chiefs to discuss security challenges in the affected zones.
Newsbuka reports that the summons comes in response to recent deadly assaults by terrorists on military bases in the North East.
Reports indicate that no fewer than three Commanding Officers of Lieutenant-Colonel rank were killed in Borno State, alongside scores of soldiers lost. Additionally, hundreds of civilians remain abducted in ongoing insecurity.
During the meeting, the Minister emphasised the need to review and strengthen strategies against the insurgents.
General Musa noted that while Nigerian forces have sustained casualties, the terrorists have suffered significantly higher losses in recent engagements.
The emergency meeting is part of the Defence Minister’s broader efforts to boost coordination and innovation in counter-terrorism operations.
Recall that recently, he introduced monthly operational briefings aimed at eradicating terrorism, insurgency, and banditry nationwide.
