The Minister of Defence, Gen Christopher Musa (retd), has ordered an operational rejig in the North-West and North-East following recent attacks on military bases in the regions.
Musa spoke after a brief strategy meeting with service chiefs in Abuja on Wednesday.
The minister assured Nigerians that the armed forces remained fully committed to restoring peace and security across the country.
“We had a quick, short meeting with members of the services to review our strategy in all our theatres within the country.
He urged Nigerians not to be discouraged by misinformation circulating on social media, noting that false narratives could undermine the morale of troops.
The defence minister called on citizens to support security agencies by providing credible information and reporting suspicious activities.
“This challenge is a Nigerian challenge; it is not only the armed forces’ challenge. Other security agencies are also working in synergy with us,” he noted.
Musa also congratulated the newly appointed Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, assuring him of the military’s readiness to strengthen collaboration with the police to tackle insecurity
