The Nigerian Army has disclosed that over 3000 soldiers would undergo further six weeks training on Counter Terrorism and Counter Insurgency (CT COIN), aimed at transforming them into efficient and effective force able to meet the contemporary security challenges within and outside the country.

The Chief of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Brig-Gen. Ibrahim Atahiru made this known yesterday at  the monthly press briefing on activities of the Nigerian Army during the period under review.

Atahiru said that the aim of the Army under the leadership of current Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika was to enhance the operational capacity of the military personnel to handle modern conflict, which was fast tilting away from the conventional warfare.

“The soldiers training, which is expected to last for six weeks would cover aspects of house breaking and clearing, urban patrol, unarmed combat, skill at arms, international humanitarian laws amongst others. A total of 3000 will be trained”, he said.

Long over due, but it's a welcomed development all the same.

u from Yaba left abi?

train 30,000,000 soldiers, if we don't live a better in nigerian. terrorism is sure

And how many terrorists will be among that 3000 soldiers?

Train them on morals and responsibilities first. ..


The few who got special trainings end up using their cheap skills on civilians.

Please help them develop common sense !

The Isreali Mossad should train them, they are proficient in annihilating radical islamists like Shekau and his band of terrorists.

Abeg leave am, na psycho patient

3000 soldiers? Nice, but I hope that number is just for a start. Plus, the soldiers must be screened and vetted thoroughly to avoid the common 'evil' of infiltration by the terrorists they are being trained to get rid of. God bless Nigeria.

Good development,but they should train more-Nigeria is a rich country,we should appropriate more funds for the best weapons-M15 and machine guns should be given to our security operatives,especially the special forces-they should be bullet proved up,with head bullet proof gear and full body armour.
we should invest in light tanks for urban patrol as well as smart choppers and fighter jets.

can i join?

Your problems makes you stronger... I think nigeria now has the best counter-terrorism force on the continent.. Thanks to boko haram
