Buratai says army will review performance northeast

You're referring to the recent statement by Major General Abubakar Ibrahim, the Director of Defence Information, who quoted the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, as saying that the Nigerian Army will review its performance in the Northeast region.

According to reports, General Buratai stated that the review is necessary to assess the army's efforts in combating insurgency and terrorism in the region. He emphasized the need for the army to learn from its experiences and improve its strategies to effectively tackle the security challenges in the Northeast.

The review is expected to cover various aspects of the army's operations, including its tactics, logistics, and communication. It will also involve assessing the performance of individual units and personnel, as well as identifying areas that require improvement.

The review is seen as a positive step towards enhancing the army's effectiveness in the region, where it has been battling Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) insurgents for several years. The army's efforts have been hampered by various challenges, including inadequate resources, poor intelligence, and corruption.

By reviewing its performance, the Nigerian Army aims to improve its operational efficiency, enhance its ability to protect civilians, and ultimately defeat the insurgents. The review is also expected to help the army to better coordinate its efforts with other security agencies and stakeholders in the region.

Overall, the review is a welcome development that demonstrates the army's commitment to learning from its experiences and improving its performance in the face of complex security challenges.
