Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Gwabin Musa, has expressed delight at the high level of synergy among members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) amid the numerous operational successes being recorded against terrorists, insurgents, kidnappers and other criminal elements in the country.
A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Vice Marshal, Edward Gabkwet says, the CDS stated this on Monday while being briefed at the Strategic Operations Centre, Headquarters of the Nigerian Air Force.
The CDS also commended the AFN for the renewed efforts in the fight against oil theft in the Niger Delta region which, according to him, was in line with the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards ramping up oil production in the region.
“Though our current security challenges are daunting, they are, however, surmountable as long as we continue to work together as a team,” he said.
He, therefore, asked them to sustain collaboration and cooperation among the Services and with other security agencies emphasizing the need for increased discipline among personnel.
“All hands must be on deck” to achieve the desired results,” he added.
While appreciating NAF personnel for their unwavering dedication and hard work, the CDS assured them that he was fully committed to providing all necessary support to enable the NAF and other Services rid the Nation of its security challenges.
He then commended the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar for his leadership and encouraged the NAF to maintain the momentum and continue working collaboratively with other services to ensure the security and stability of the country.
According to him, “We must continue to enhance our synergy and intensify air operations to combat terrorists and other criminal elements, curbing their operational freedom and fostering favourable conditions for successful ground operations by our troops.”
