The federal government has authorized additional assets to support Nigeria’s military campaign against Boko Haram and the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP).
Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, Army Director of Public Relations, confirmed the assent in a statement issued on Saturday.
Bashir Magashi, the Defence Minister, made the announcement on Friday while visiting troops from the Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK).
More equipment and logistics for operational enhancement, according to the retired General, would aid in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria.

The team recently began a joint assessment of ongoing operations in order to monitor progress and gather first-hand information on accomplishments, challenges, and requirements.
“We are fully committed to providing you with all of the resources you need to do your job professionally and to the best of your ability.” “We’ve seen your dedication and are proud of you,” Magashi said.
The minister thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for his support and expressed hope that success is on the way if the fight against terrorists is maintained.
