The Movement for the Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has commended the Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa over armed forces’ role in tackling insurgency.
MOSIEND President, Dr Kenedy Tonjo-West, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yenagoa in Thursday that Musa had brought transformative progress into Nigeria’s security landscape.
Tonjo-West said that the past two years of Musa’s reign as chief of defense staff had witnessed significant breakthrough in the campaign against insecurity.
“The armed forces of Nigeria have made significant strides in combating terrorism, banditry, and other security threats under his watch.
“Under his supervision, the security forces have shown enormous commitment to restoring hope and reinforcing national confidence in the military,” he said.
The MOSIEND leader said that during the period, no fewer than 6,000 terrorists had been neutralised, while about 14,138 others had been arrested.
He said that the achievements of the military under Musa’s watch had showcased his commitment to protecting the nation and maintaining internal stability.
Tonjo-West further said that apart from tackling insecurity, the defence chief had shown rare commitment to the welfare of military officers.
“Soldiers’ ration cash allowance has been increased, schools and facility located within baracks have been renovated, and modern military equipments have been deployed to frontline units,” he said.
He said that Musa’s leadership style had not only yielded tangible security gains but revived morale, discipline, and professionalism in the armed forces.
“He has strengthened inter-agency collaboration. We can see the deepening of strategic partnerships among security agencies, we commend him for his hard work,” he said.(NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
