PRESS BRIEFING ON NIGERIAN ARMY DAY CELEBRATION 2018 AND OPERATION LAST
HOLD

Preambles

1. Gentlemen and Ladies of the Press, you will recall that in 18 April 2018, a press conference was held intimating the public on the launching of Operation (OP) LAST HOLD and highlighting the preparations for the Nigerian Army Day
Celebration (NADCEL) 2018. The NADCEL 2018 will take place in OP LAFIYA DOLE Theater. It is designed to feature Nigerian
Army’s humanitarian commitment and showcase the combat capability and equipment of the Nigerian Army and
subsequently conduct operations to totally destroy Boko Haram Terrorist locations in the LAKE CHAD Basin. Accordingly, Civil Military Cooperation activities are embedded in OP LAST HOLD which will commence from 1 May – 8 Jul 18. Activities for NADCEL 2018 will include COAS Press Conference, combined Church Service/Juma’at Prayer in all Formations, Sanitation Exercises and Seminars/Workshops. There will be robust Civil Military Cooperation activities such
as medical outreach, sanitation exercises, renovation/const of boreholes and town hall meetings tailored towards winning the
hearts and minds of the civil populace within the theatre as well as facilitate the safe relocation of Internally Displaced Persons back to their homes.

2. Additionally, the Nigerian Army Engineers will mould blocks using compressor machines and assist in building new homes for returnees at their various towns. The Nigerian Army
will also cooperate with state governments and ministry of agriculture to assist in land clearing for planting during the planting season. It will provide protection throughout planting
and harvest periods with patrols and escorts to ensure food sufficiency. The Nigerian Army Medical Corps will equally deploy medical resources fully to cover the period of the
operation. Sanitation exercises in selected locations with large presence of civilians as well as town hall, security meetings and sensitization workshops with traditional rulers, religious leaders, village heads etc will also be held in the following locations:
a. Monguno.
b. Gajiran.
c. Baga.
d. Dapchi.
e. Kukawa.
f. Mallam Fatori.
g. Gashage.
h. Arege.
i. Jilil.

3. Already, consultations have commenced with visits to the Borno and Yobe State Governments whom have shown enthusiastic interest in the activities lined up for this operation. A mini water project has also been commissioned in Gelengu, Balanga Local Government Area of Gombe State. Similarly,
consultations with Federal ministry of Agriculture and other relevant ministries are ongoing with the view to eliciting their
active involvement in the rehabilitation and location of Internally Displaced Persons back to their communities.

4. The Nigerian Army recognizes the importance and role of the media not just in information dissemination but also for the
crucial roles it plays in winning the hearts and minds of the civil populace. To ensure that the general public is carried along, and kept abreast with the activities of the Nigerian
Army as regards NADCEL 2018 and OP LAST HOLD, the Nigerian Army has established a Media Operation Centre. The aim of this media centre is to ensure that clear information
regarding Nigerian Army operations is passed across to the general public. To achieve this, there will be daily briefings and press releases throughout the duration of OP LAST HOLD
leading to the NADCEL 2018 in line with operational objectives.

5. It is important for me at this point to inform the general public that the NADCEL 2018 is planned to be very unique and as such different from previous Celebration. Therefore, the activities to be carried out will very robust in line with the achievement of the operational endstate. Various activities will be simultaneously conducted at different locations as earlier stated and will culminate on the 6 Jul 18 with the grand finale of NADCEL 2018. I want to therefore assure you once again that the media will be carried along on these activities even as we draw nearer to 6 Jul 18. We therefore call on all well meaning Nigerians to support the Nigerian Army and its activities throughout this period.

6. The planned Civil Military Cooperation activities for OP LAST HOLD/NADCEL 2018 are expected to achieve both strategic and operational end states and are geared towards facilitating the quick return of Internally Displaced Persons to their ancestral homes as well as winning the hearts and minds
of the civil populace in support of Nigerian Army operations. Let me also use this medium to call on all well-meaning Nigerians, Civil Society Organisation, International Non-Governmental Organisations and the private sector to support the Nigerian Army to ensure the successful return of Internally Displaced
Persons to their ancestral homes.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE UNVEILS NEW BASE IN KERANG, PLATEAU STATE, FOR COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) yesterday, 14 May 2018, unveiled its new Base in Kerang, Plateau with the commissioning of newly constructed office and residential accommodations for the 205 Combat Search and Rescue Group (CSARG). The newly commissioned projects include the Group Headquarters Complex, a 10 x one-bedroom accommodation for Non-Commissioned Officers and a 6 x one-bedroom Single Officers’ Quarters. Other commissioned projects include the Commander’s Official Residence and a 4 x 2-bedroom residential accommodation for Senior Non-Commissioned Officers serving in the Unit. The commissioned projects were in fulfillment of the promise made by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, during the Ground Breaking Ceremony of the new Unit on 7 March 2017, to ensure timely and adequate provision of infrastructural facilities for the smooth commencement of operation by the Unit. The 205 CSARG, which had been operating from Jos since its establishment one and half years ago, will now commence operation from the new Base in Kerang.

While commissioning the projects, the Guest of Honour and Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Simon Lalong, commended the CAS for ensuring the provision of the new facilities barely a year after the Ground Breaking Ceremony. The Governor noted that the commissioning of the Base was a further testimony of the Federal Government’s resolve to ensure security of the citizenry and maintain peaceful co-existence. Speaking further, Barrister Lalong said that the establishment of the Special Operations Command and the commissioning of projects at 205 CSARG Kerang was a glowing evidence of the commitment of the NAF leadership to the welfare of its personnel and a reflection of its determination to defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria. He added that the unwavering desire of the CAS to make the NAF the best Air Force in Africa was no doubt yielding the desired dividends. The Governor noted that the strategic location of the Unit in Kerang would not only shorten its response time to emergencies but would also improve the turnaround time at providing combat search and rescue for troops and citizens in distress.

In his address, the CAS disclosed that the 205 CSARG in Kerang was established to provide aid and operational assistance to wounded and distressed troops serving in combat units. He then used the occasioned to appreciate the laudable generosity of the Governor and the Kerang Community for the provision of 100 hectares of land for the establishment of the new Base. Air Marshal Abubakar also seized the opportunity to reiterate the NAF’s commitment to the welfare of its personnel and to the wellbeing of members of its host community, as part of its efforts to promote cordial civil-military relations. He therefore assured that in due course, the NAF would establish a hospital as well as primary and secondary schools to cater for the healthcare and educational needs of personnel and members of the host community. He then promised that the NAF would continue to provide adequate security in the State while maintaining a harmonious relationship with the citizens.

Dignitaries at the occasion included the Deputy Governor of Plateau State, Prof Sonnie Tyoden and a former CAS, retired Air Marshal Jonah Wuyep.
