Nigerian Major General Tukur Yusuf Buratai has been appointed the
Force Commander of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF). He
has assumed duties at the new Headquarters in N’Djamena, the
Capital of Chad Republic. The reorganised MNJTF arrangement is in
line with the decisions of member countries of the Lake Chad Basin
Commission (LCBC) which include Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroun,
with Benin Republic as a honorary member. The arrangement has the
backing of partners in the fight against Boko Haram namely; France,
the UK and the USA.
The MNJTF has now been sectionised into 3 Sectors to achieve more
effect in its operations with one of the sectors Headquarters retained
in Baga.
The MNJTF was formed as a result of the need by the LCBC member
countries to pool their effort together in a bid to provide a common
and coordinated solution to the security challenges in the Lake Chad
Basin region, especially the security challenges posed by terrorists in
the region and beyond. The MNJTF will work and collaborate with the
forces of the member countries in the fight against terrorists.
Major General TY Buratai was a Director at the Defence Headquarters,
Abuja before his new appointment. He had at various times served as
the Commandant of the Nigerian Army School of Infantry and
sometimes the Brigade Commander at 2 Brigade, Nigerian Army as
well as Commander, Joint Task Force, Operation PULO SHIELD.

Nice move

I know the military background of President Mohammadu Buhari will go a long way in wiping out Bokoharam............... General Mohd. Buhari's charisma as a rtd General will go a long way to motivate the boys because they know their C-in-C was and is also one of them. PMB prestige would also woo International sympathisers to holistically collaborate with MNJTF in defeating BokoHaram .... a feat we can't boast of before because International communities were scared of accountability and transparency under the "fedora hat" .

A General as our democratic elected President in a war time makes it great .....

Victory for PMB
Victory for Nigeria

May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.. Halleluyah!!! The End of Boko haram is near... S

The era of boko haram being in the government of Nigeria is finally over
