The General Officer Commanding, 2 Division, Nigerian Army, Ibadan,
Maj.-Gen. Ahmed Jubrin, has said terrorism is the major
contemporary challenge facing the country.
He said it was imperative to train soldiers so that they could adequately
combat insurgency.
He spoke to journalists during the Division’s inter-brigade warrant
officers and senior non-commissioned officers competition in Ilorin on
Monday.
He added that it was needful for security operatives to frontally
confront insecurity.
He said, “Terrorism is mainly the contemporary challenges facing the nation.
For our soldiers to be up and doing and up to the task in fighting
terrorism they had to prepare. And preparation is anchored on
training. This is a very important part of the training, preparing
them in dealing with contemporary security challenges.
“It is important for us to know that the challenges the country is
facing are obvious and the need for us to rise to the occasion to deal
with the situation is very clear.”
