The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has declared 2025 as a year for Nigeria’s military to decisively tackle and eradicate banditry, terrorism, and other security threats across the country.
General Musa made this pronouncement during a visit to troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, where he commended the military’s achievements in safeguarding Nigeria’s territorial integrity and urged troops to redouble their efforts.
“This year, 2025, will be a decisive year for Nigeria’s security. We must make it the year we finally eradicate banditry, terrorism, and all forms of insecurity threatening our great nation,” General Musa stated.
The CDS praised the dedication and bravery of the troops but stressed the importance of sustaining the momentum.
During his visit, General Musa inspected arms and ammunition recovered by OPSH and reviewed a guard of honour mounted in his honour.
General Musa joined Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3 Division and OPSH Commander, in a push-up exercise with the troops.
The exercise, he said, reflected their commitment to the fight against insurgency.
