In spite of the recent killing of 148 people in villages in Borno state by the Boko Haram terrorists, President Muhammadu Buhari declared Friday that Nigeria was making progress in the war against the terrorist group.
Speaking at the graduation of officers of Senior Course 37 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji, Kaduna, Buhari who was represented by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said Nigeria and the multinational forces of neighbouring countries were progressively winning the fight against Boko Haram.
The President expressed confidence in the quality of training received by officers in the institution which has adequately prepared the military to confront the current threats to national and global security.
He however, urged the officers to be mindful of the distracting and diversionary nature of today's highly sensitive media environment.
"Some of you will be deployed to crisis-prone areas for either internal security or peace support operations outside your country; giving that, we live in a common global environment, you must be conscious of your actions" he said.
He added that Nigeria remains firmly committed to the maintenance of international peace and security, stressing that the country will continue to collaborate with other governments to promote peace, stability and development on the African continent and around the world.
