The COAS stated this today in Calabar during his familiarisation visit to army formations and units under the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army.
Addressing officers and men of the 13 Brigade Nigerian Army in the Cross River State capital, Gen. Minimah said: “The army is ready to defeat terrorism and insurgency in the country.
