Insecurity: We’re doing our best, Army Chief tells Nigerians

Maj-Gen Waidi Shaibu, Chief of Army Staff




Major-General Waidi Shaibu, Chief of Army Staff, says the Army under his watch is doing its best towards tackling insecurity in the country.

The COAS stated this during an Operational Visit to One Division, Nigerian Army Headquarters, Kaduna, on Wednesday.

He further reassured both his troops and the public of his unwavering commitment to the country’s security mission.

According to him, One Division is a key formation under Operation Fansan Yamma.

“First and foremost is to appreciate the troops for their commitment and sacrifice and what they are doing to stem the tide of security across the country,” he said.

He described his tour as “a medium operational visit to various formations and units”.

Turning his attention to the Nigerian people, Shaibu acknowledged rising expectations.

“The armed forces, the army, we’re doing our very best to ensure that we tackle the security challenges across our country,” he said.

He remained cautiously optimistic, adding, “And with time, of course, we’ll start having very good results.”

He urged the officers and soldiers to continue their work with professionalism.

“My charge to them (Soldiers) is that they should continue doing what they are doing professionally and remain committed towards the cause of the mission we are giving them and ensure mission success,” he said.

He emphasized that their dedication is critical for achieving the mission’s goals.

The COAS had earlier met with the senior officers at the Division before commissioning a Solder Cafeteria. (Daily Trust)
