Chris Musa, the minister of defence, has directed the service chiefs to visit the north-west and north-east to rejig military operations.
The directive came during a meeting on Wednesday at the
Ministry of Defence, where Musa met with service chiefs to discuss security
challenges in the affected zones.
Timothy Antigha, the media adviser to the minister, told
TheCable that the service chiefs are expected to report their findings after
their visit to the security-challenged geopolitical zones.
In recent weeks, there has been a spate of attacks by
terrorists, with military bases often targeted and several personnel killed.
On Monday, fighters from the Islamic State West Africa
Province (ISWAP) killed a commanding officer of the Nigerian Army during
another assault on a military facility in Kukawa LGA of Borno state.
The next day, troops of the Nigerian Army repelled an
early-morning attack by suspected ISWAP fighters on a military base in the same
area.
About a week earlier, suspected fighters from Boko Haram and
ISWAP attempted to attack military positions in Ngoshe, Gwoza LGA of Borno
state.
The Nigerian Air Force said more than 50 of the suspected
terrorists were killed in air strikes.
