According to him – “the committee deems it necessary to visit the Theatre at a time like this, to enable members get first hand and true situation and challenges been faced in the war against terrorism, as well as to see the conditions of the troops in the front lines in order to have a better ground for a realistic and objective legislative presentation to support the course of the military in the North East”.

The members were objectively briefed by the COAS Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai on the operational challenges and strategies employed in the recent operations particularly the ones done in conjunction with the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) Operation ‘Yanchin Tafkin’ and ‘Hard Strike which are still ongoing.

General Buratai appreciated the committee for their support to the NA and further solicits for speedy legislative actions on all matters concerning the request for acquisition of more hardwares to enable the military perform optimally in the war against the remnants of the terrorists in the North East Zone.

As part of the activities lined up for the visit, the honourable members were conducted to a visit to 7 Division Medical Services and Hospital in Maiduguri to see the wounded troops that are receiving treatment at the facility.They also visited the Operation Lafiya Dole 107 Equipment Support Workshop to see the devastating impact of Improvised Explosive Devices on tanks and soft skin vehicles.

Earlier before the arrival of the Committe, the COAS had commissioned the new office extension block constructed by the Theatre Headquarters to provide more conducive office accommodation for its key officers and other departments within the Theatre Command.
