Boko Haram: Service Chiefs Meet With Zulum
Nigeria’s Service Chiefs on Sunday met with Governor Babagana Zulum on their trip to Borno as the renewed war against Boko Haram gets underway.
The military heads met with the governor at the Government House in Maiduguri, the Borno capital.
Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Lucky Irabor, led the Chiefs of Army – Major General Ibrahim Attahiru; Navy – Rear Admiral Awwal Gambo; Air Force – Air Vice Marshal Isiaka Amao.
The state has been the epicentre of insurgency for more than a decade.
Zulum urged collaboration between Nigerian Armed Forces and neighbouring countries, Chad, Cameroon and Niger.
Zulum assured the Generals of his administration’s commitment to assist the military in any possible way to ensure victory against the enemy.
The governor advised them to tolerate fair and constructive criticisms that will enhance their productivity.
“In democratic settings, the military is an establishment, subject to constructive criticisms by well-meaning citizens. Therefore, you are expected to accept such in good faith,” Zulum said.
He added that for the Nigerian military to achieve success, there must be robust coordination and collaboration among all arms.
In his remarks, Irabor assured that military operations will receive a boost and vowed to wipe out insurgents.
