Senate assures army of continuous support to address security challenges

The Senate Committee on Army has promised to support the Nigerian Army in its ongoing efforts to deal with the numerous security issues plaguing the nation.

Sen. Ali Ndume, the committee's chairman, provided the assurance on Thursday in Abuja as he escorted committee members to the Army Headquarters to perform their statutory oversight duties.

This was announced in a statement released on Thursday by Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, director of Army Public Relations.

Ndume praised the Nigerian army for its operational accomplishments in the country's war against terrorism, banditry, and other crimes.

He continued by saying that the army had proven to be capable, dedicated, and determined to address the security issues plaguing the country under the current government.

He urged them to intensify efforts in tackling insecurity in troubled parts of the country before the end of the year.

Ndume also expressed confidence in the ability of the Nigerian army to work in synergy with other services and agencies to restore peace and security to the country as being progressively witnessed in the North East.

He expressed delight that the North East, which was hitherto the epicentre of terrorists’ activities, had experienced a lot of improvement in recent times.

In his remarks, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya appreciated the committee and the entire senate for their support of the Nigerian army and the diligent execution of their oversight function.

Yahaya provided the committee with an update on the operational activities of the army and ongoing efforts to curtail insecurity in the country.

He informed the committee that the recent flagging off of Exercises Still Waters, Golden Dawn and Enduring Peace across the country was one of the efforts to stem the tide of criminality during the yuletide.

Yahaya added that it was also preparatory to ensuring a peaceful atmosphere during the 2023 general elections.
