The Nigeria Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, has assured that the military will meet the three-month presidential deadline to end the Boko Haram insurgency in the northeast.
“The military is winning the war on daily basis,” General Buratai told journalists shortly after declaring open the 10th Nigerian Army Finance Corps Biennial Training Conference in Kaduna today.
He added that it is possible to meet the deadline set for the military by President Muhammadu Buhari.
President Buhari had given the military up to December 2015 to end the insurgency in the northeast.
General Buratai, who did not give details on the deadline and the strategy of the military during the interview, simply said: “We will end Boko Haram insurgency very soon. It is possible to meet the three months deadline. We are very close to the insurgents. We are winning them on daily basis.” [myad]
