Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Farouk Yahaya, on Tuesday, commended Nigerian Army field commanders and troops for their operational successes in various theatres of operation across the country.<\/p>\n

Gen. Yahaya gave the commendation at the opening of the Third Quarter COAS Conference 2022 held in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He noted that kinetic actions in the Northeast theatre of operations had continued to dismantle the cohesion of insurgents resulting in their massive surrenders.<\/p>\n

The surrenders, he also noted, had impacted positively on the morale of troops and greatly bolstered the confidence of citizens.<\/p>\n

Yahaya stressed that efforts must be geared towards leveraging on the gains so far recorded to stamp out terrorism and banditry permanently.<\/p>\n

He said the recent successful hosting of the Nigerian Army Day Celebration (NADCEL) in the Southeast also impacted positively on the security situation in the geopolitical zone.<\/p>\n

He observed that troops had continued to take decisive actions against secessionists.<\/p>\n

The COAS assured that the army would continue to perform its roles professionally in collaboration with other services and security agencies as well as with state and local government authorities.<\/p>\n

In the South-South region, he said troops of Operation Delta Safe had continued to perform creditably with rejuvenated joint operations leading to the arrest of many suspects and their sponsors.<\/p>\n

He noted that concerted efforts were ongoing to ensure that the nation derived maximum revenue from its oil ventures in the region.<\/p>\n

Yahaya also told the conference that in the Southwest geo-political zone, the Army had continued to contribute positively to the maintenance of a calm security situation in the area.<\/p>\n

He said security arrangements in the region have been reinforced in collaboration with sister security agencies, particularly in the wake of the unfortunate incursion by terrorists into the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore successes are envisaged in the region in the days ahead as concerted efforts are being undertaken to track and apprehend criminals and their sponsors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur offensive operations in the Northwest and North Central geo-political zones have also been intensified.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccordingly, troops in conjunction with the Nigerian Air Force have continued to neutralise bandits and destroy their hideouts in recently-launched onslaughts such as `Operation Desert Sanity\u2019.<\/p>\n
