Service chiefs on Monday met with President Muhammadu Buhari and told him that the weather and the shortage of logistics were hindering the ongoing war against the Boko Haram insurgency.

The closed-door meeting, which lasted two hours, was also attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and National Security Adviser (NSA) Major-General Babagana Monguno (rtd).

Addressing State House correspondents after the meeting, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Abayomi Olonisakin, said they briefed President Buhari on the security situation in the country after a 60-day review.

The defence chief explained that they had to brief Buhari on the challenges facing the military in the fight against Boko Haram so that the mandate the president had given them could be properly delivered.

"It was a normal consultation to intimate him (the president) of the issues on ground. We briefed him on the security situation on ground after a 60-day review and we had to brief him on the challenges we have and ensure that the mandate we have is properly delivered", he said.

Asked what the challenges were, the Chief of Defence Staff stated: "Of course, the challenges we are looking at are the issues of probably the weather as it were and some other logistics that we feel we should have so that the mandate can be quickly delivered".

On what the president's response was, Ononisakin, said: "He (Buhari) is very excited, very happy. As for our request, he gave the mandate".

Olonisakin noted that the military had not said it was considering an extension of the December deadline to end the Boko Haram insurgency.

According to him, the army is currently preoccupied with its mandate to eliminate Boko Haram from the occupied territories and reclaim all the lost grounds.

"We have not said that (consideration of the deadline extension). The mandate is that we should clear Boko Haram from the occupied territories and ensure that we reclaim all the lost grounds. That is exactly what we are doing".
