He said the military and the media should be key allies in the ongoing efforts to secure the country.

He added that the military had made significant milestones in the fight against insurgency and banditry.

“The Nigerian Army has intensified operations across various regions with tailored strategies to address the unique security threats in each region. I’m pleased to report significant successes in these efforts across multiple theatres. These include the neutralisation of several terrorists and their leaders, the rescue of some abducted communities, leading to the return of internally displaced persons to their ancestral homes. Our efforts have also significantly boosted crude oil production while enhancing food security through special patrols and escort duties that enable farmers to cultivate their crops,” he said.

Chief of civil-military affairs, Maj. Gen. Nosakhare Ugbo, said the conduct of the Nigerian Army’s non-kinetic line of operation was geared towards securing the support and cooperation of the civil populace.

“As we carry out our constitutional responsibilities, the people’s support and cooperation are crucial to our operational effectiveness and successes,” he said.
