Also speaking at the event, the immediate past Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, said the Boko Haram insurgency was at its peak when he assumed office in 2021, but he is leaving it better than he met it.
Yahaya was appointed army chief by former President Muhammadu Buhari on May 27, 2021, after the tragic death of Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru, who died in an air crash alongside 10 other officers and men of the army on May 21. Before he was appointed army chief, he was the theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, the counter-insurgency operation in the Northeast.
He urged the army to sustain its ongoing gains against various security threats, including terrorists and bandits, and crude oil thieves.All rights reserved.
