The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya says the Nigerian Army would utilise the support of international entities to defeat terrorism confronting the country.
Yahaya stated this in Bauchi on Monday during the inauguration of the 2023 Combat Arms Training Week, organised by the Nigerian Army Armoured Corps and Infantry Corps, Bauchi.
He said the combat arms of the Nigerian Army have been performing creditably in the discharge of the assigned mission in various internal and foreign operational environments with remarkable successes.
He said the feat was achieved due to the resolve and determination of President Muhammadu Buhari to support the military in performing its constitutional responsibilities through improved funding, clear strategic directives and provision of needed logistics.
“We shall utilise the support of international entities to defeat the various threats confronting Nigeria.
“These measures as vigorously pursued and sustained will make the Nigerian Army and indeed the combat arms better equipped to take on present and future security challenges.
“Efforts are being sustained at the highest levels to rejig the Nigerian Army,” adding that it was also imperative for the combat arms and other components of the army to continue to look inward and make the best use of available resources.
The COAS reaffirmed commitment of the Nigerian Army to continue to evolve along with the dynamics of the society.
