The Chief of Army Staff, Lt-General Yusuf Buratai has declared that the ability of the military to defeat Boko Haram terrorists in the next few weeks will determine the future of the country.

In view of this, Buratai said the next few days will be crucial to ‘Operation LAFIYA DOLE’ and to Nigeria.

In a message to troops in the ‘Operation LAFIYA DOLE’, Buratai said that the nation’s sovereignty is threatened. He added that the Nigerian Army and indeed the military as the symbol of our nationhood is being challenged.

“We cannot afford to lose the fight. We are better trained and better equipped. The whole nation is behind us. Mr. President is with us. Let us remain steadfast in this noble cause,” he said.

“Be courageous. We must degrade and defeat the terrorists. This job must be done. We must make our country men and women proud.”
