Guardian report that the Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen Yusuf Burutai, has approved the promotion of 5000 Soldiers fighting the Boko Haram terrorist in the Northeast.
He said the Army was closing in on the Sambisa forest with a view to rescuring them.
The Army Chief has charged officers to align to the wind of change that is blowing all over the country by watching their weights, building confidence with sister agencies, being loyalty to constituted authority and abiding by the right dress code.
The Chief of Army Staff said at the opening of COAS quarterly conference, that the accelerated promotion promised by his predecessor is intended to improve the general well being and morale of the gallant soldiers participating in the operation Lafiya Dole in the Northeast.
He also said that the commitment of the soldiers deserve commendation and all the motivation that can be accorded them. “I have since approved the special promotion for 5000 gallant soldiers” he said.
