Buhari told the service chiefs to end the insurgency: “The activities of these misguided groups and individuals have resulted in wanton destruction of lives and properties of our citizens as a disruption of socio-economic lives of millions of Nigerians,” the president said. “You need to brace up and continue to team up with other stakeholders to come up with a well coordinated joint effort which will bring a desired end to these insurgencies within three months”.
He added; “Your troops welfare must be uppermost in your mind, take care of them and make available what is due to them”, he said, promising that his administration would provide all the resources the soldiers need to succeed.
He also charged them to engage with human rights protection in mind.
“You should also ensure that they abide with the newly enforced rules and relations of international standards while carrying out their assigned tasks,” he said. “In particular you must protect innocent civilians and respect the rights of combatant. This no doubt will earn the support of local communities and the respect of our allies and support of the international community.”
