Nigeria military will restore full peace to the North East in line with the desire of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai, gave the assurance while addressing troops undergoing training at the Nigerian Army Special Forces Training School, Yobe.

Buratai charged the troops to sustain the momentum of the ongoing counter insurgency operations to flush out the insurgents.

He said the exercise was to make the personnel resilient and be able to withstand challenges they might face in the course of the ongoing operations.

According to him, “Operation Lafia Dole’ has entered a critical stage. You must sustain the momentum; there is no going back

Buratai later told newsmen that he was in Buni Yadi to see how the troops undergoing the Special Forces training were faring.

He explained that the exercise was to make the personnel resilient and be able to withstand challenges they might face in the course of the ongoing operations.

Buni Yadi is the headquarter of the 27 Task Force Brigade of the Nigeria Army.

Buratai had charged the military to remain focused until the insurgents were crushed, when he spoke at the end of a three-day “Combat Support Arms Training Week 2016’’ in Maiduguri.
