The Nigerian Army has trained another batch of 120 officers on counter terrorism and counter insurgency operations.
Addressing reporters during their Passing Out Parade at the Nigerian Army School Of Infantry, Jaji, Kaduna, the Chief Of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Azubuike Ihejirika assured Nigerians that the fight against terrorism, especially in the Northern part of the country would soon be over.
He added that the Nigerian military had made significant progress in the war against insurgency.
The Chief of Army Staff, who was represented by the General Officer Commanding, 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Garba Wahab, said that with the kind of skills acquired by the officers during their training, they would contribute immensely to the war against terrorism.
He also highlighted the  successes recorded against the Boko Haram terrorists  so far.
“The Nigerian Army remains battle ready against the nation’s enemies,” the Chief of Army Staff stressed.
Some of the newly commissioned officers promised to protect the country from both internal and external attacks, and assist their colleagues, who are already on the field, to tackle the security challenges headlong.
The officers who were drawn from different army formations across the country, spent 3 months at the School Of Infantry, and during the period they were exposed to trainings and lectures on counter terrorism and counter insurgency operations.
The history of Nigerian Army School of Infantry can be traced to the establishment of the Royal West African Frontier Force during the colonial administration of West Africa in the late 1950s.
