Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai, has called for prayers and support for soldiers engaged in the counter insurgency war and other security operations within and outside the country.
Buratai, said rather than criticizing the military, Nigerians should start praying for their soldiers, who are poised more than ever, to wipe out the insurgents and other criminals in the country.
The COAS, who made the call at the 2017 Nigerian Army Social Activities (NASA), organised by the Guards Brigade, in Abuja, said but for the sacrifice of members of the armed forces, the country would have been in chaos.
Represented by Major-General Rasheed Yusuf,, the army chief, while assuring that terrorism would soon be a thing of the past in the country, noted that “the last few months have witnessed remarkable improvement and a quantum leap in the operational capacity of our troops, especially in the northeast.
““This is occasioned by improvement in the administrative and logistics spheres of the operations, which are clear manifestations of my vision to have professionally responsive Nigeria Army in the discharge of its constitutional roles.
