Esan, described the Force Commander as a media friendly Commander, who is strict but a fair-minded General who treated all Sectors of MNJTF equally.
She noted that the successes recorded so far was as a result of cooperation at all levels driven by the leadership skills of Major General Abdul Khalifa Ibrahim, who led the team to collectively fight insecurity in the region.
The media guru, emphasised that when MNJTF re-operationalized with an increased capacity of about 10,000 troops, the Force Commander had since created a safe and secure environment in the areas affected by the activities of Boko Haram BHT and other terrorist groups.
She said he facilitated the implementation of overall stabilization programmes and facilitates within the limit of its capabilities, humanitarian operations, and the delivery of assistance to the affected populations.
The operations of the MNJTF in close collaboration with national operations (OPERATION HADIN KAI – Nigeria and OPERATION EMERGENCE IV – Cameroon) have led to an improved security situation in the Region as schools, hospitals and markets, are reopening although on a limited scale while commerce and agricultural activities, including fishing, are gradually picking up.
She said Major General Christopher Musa, who served as the 11th Theatre Commander Operation HADIN KAI, accelerated the amnesty programme for repentant terrorists saying that it was under his watch, that Nigeria took delivery of the Super Tucano aircraft from the United States Government, which has been used in bombarding terrorists’ enclaves, forcing many of them to either surrender or flee westwards.
It was also under Musa’s watch, that over 47,975 terrorists and their families have so far surrendered to troops, according to military authorities, she hinted.
“We wish to thank them immensely for coordinating and sustaining all the actions, programmes, efforts and special projects that have accounted for the liberation of communities and the return of peace across North East and Lake Chad Region.
“We are optimistic that General Ibrahim and General Musa’s new deployment to the Nigerian National Security Adviser’s office and Headquarters, Infantry Corps Centre Jaji Military Cantonment respectively would benefit the host community and the Nigerian Army as a whole.
