As part of activities marking the celebration of the Nigerian Army medal presentation parades, governor Hon Mai Mala Buni, has decorated officers and personnel of the Yobe State Sector 2 Operation ‘Hadin Kai’ with the army medals over their gallantry and sacrifices in the counterinsurgency operations.

Buni, represented by his special adviser on Security, Brig Gen. Abdussalam Dahiru, while decorating the troops said the performance of the Nigerian Army in Yobe State, has helped in stabilisation of peace in the polity and revival of socio-economic activities in the North East as a region.

The governor stated that despite complications in the war against insurgency, the Nigerian Army has been striving to carry out its operations with extra caution, to ensure that the law-abiding citizens do not suffer damages due to activities of the insurgents.

“It is therefore, a matter of pride to note that in spite of the new challenges associated with the execution of the war against insurgency, the army has continued to demonstrate commitments and resilience towards ending the threat.

“In the process, a lot of army and para-military personnel have paid the supreme price while many others were injured or incapacitated. I pray, may their souls rest in perfect peace and also pray for the quick recovery of the injured.
