To show his seriousness in combating the deadly Boko-Haram group, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen, Kenneth Minimah, has relocated to the North-East to personally supervise the war against the sects insurgence in the zone.
Our correspondents gathered that the decision of the COAS to join his colleagues in the other services in the zone was largely responsible for the recent successes recorded by the military.
A source said that Minimah was collaborating with the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Olusola Amosu, whose men provide air support for the Special Forces drawn from the Army, the Nigerian Navy, and others.
The Senate committee had in a two-page statement, explained that it came up with the decision that the COAS should move to the North-East after a two-hour brainstorming session with him on the way forward out of the Boko Haram menace.
It also directed the Army to re-strategise on possible new ways of curbing Boko Haram excesses in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states by mobilizing all available military resources for the purpose.
Minimah has also embarked on a major overhaul of the army hierarchy in the North- East to better position it to crush the insurgents.
Hopefully we will start to see changes resulting from all this restructuring. *Sigh*
