Nwachukwu said the visit was in continuation of the TC’s familiarization and operational tour of troops’ deployment at the frontlines in the North East theatre.
The TC, who was briefed on the operational engagements, logistics, and challenges of the Battalion by the Commanding officer, Lt Col Victor Ashinze, appreciated the troops for their selfless sacrifices in the fight against terrorism and insurgency and urged them to be more resilient and steadfast in the conduct of their operations.
While assuring the troops of the determination of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya to ensure all requisite logistics and support for the successful conduct of the ongoing counter-insurgency war are provided, Gen Musa noted that as border towns between Nigeria and Niger Republics, the locations are strategic and must therefore be dominated by the troops.
