The Chief of Army
Staff, Lieutenant General Kenneth Minimah, said yesterday that maximum caution
is required by the military in the effort to rescue the over 200 school girls
abducted by Boko Haram.
Anything short of that,
according to him, may be counterproductive.
Speaking at the passing
out ceremony of officers of Direct Short Service Course 21 at the
Armed
Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji in Kaduna State, Lieutenant General
Minimah, spoke of the need for the army officers to be committed to
the service of the nation.
Lieutenant General
Minimah reminded them of the enormous security challenges currently facing the
nation and the roles they are expected to play in dismantling the challenges.
He asked the newly
commissioned officers to respect constituted authorities and democratic norms,
saying new strategies have been developed for the containment of the Boko Haram
insurgency in the Northeast.
Their commissioning
into the Nigerian Army is part of efforts by the military authorities to
increase the number of its personnel tackling the security challenges currently
confronting the nation.
