President Muhammadu Buhari has charged troops of Operation Hadin Kai (formerly Lafiya Dole) to not relent in their onslaught against Boko Haram and other terrorists in the Northeast.
He urged them to give their best until peace is restored in the region and all Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are resettled in their homes.
He spoke during his visit to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. The state is the epicenter of the Boko Haram activities.
The President also promised that resources will be devoted to take care of the families of soldiers and other security agents killed in action while defending the country.
He said the country is indebted to those fighting the terrorists on the battle field and to the memories of those who paid the supreme price.
His words: “While I commend your resilience, let me remind you that there is still a lot of work to be done, to completely restore peace to the North East, stem the activities of armed bandits in the North West and North Central, as well as deal with other security challenges across the country.
“You must therefore remain steadfast and see this war to a conclusive end. In doing so, you must rely on inter-agency cooperation, and strengthen your cohesion with the troops of neighbouring Republics of Cameroon, Chad and Niger in our collective fight against the terrorists, under the auspices of the Multinational Joint Task Force. This will consolidate our efforts and facilitate the speedy return of peace and stability to the region,” the President said.
