“The new Chief of Army Staff’s track records show that he is experienced and will hit the ground running in bringing to an end the security challenges the country is facing,” he said.

Zailani charged the new Army chief to double efforts in dealing decisively with insurgency, banditry and other threats to Nigeria’s peace and unity.

It would be recalled that prior to his appointment, Major General Yahaya was the General Officer Commanding 1 Division of the Nigerian Army and the incumbent Theatre Commander of the Counter-Terrorism Counter Insurgency military outfit in the North East, code-named Operation HADIN KAI.
