Major-General Farouk Yahaya, The Chief of Army Staff, has disclosed that he has a collaborative strategy to fight insurgency in Nigeria.
He stated that that the fight against insecurity can’t be prosecuted by the Army alone and that is why he plans to work with other security chiefs, security agencies, traditional institutions, and all relevant stakeholders in the country to combat all forms of insecurity plaguing Nigeria at the moment.
He expressed optimism that if all stakeholders can work together against the insurgents, they will be crushed quickly.
Gen. Yahaya made the submission on Tuesday in Abuja when he appeared for screening before the joint House of Representatives Committees on Defence and Army.

He said, “From my experience, this job can’t be done by a single service or entity, the Army itself is a group work, not individual and that’s why we’re arranged in sections, companies, battalions, and brigades.
“Captured in the vision of the last COAS and in my vision too is the mention of a joint environment in what we do, having realized that this job isn’t a one service job.
“It also requires other agencies and stakeholders and as we speak, the former chief has already gathered these as a cornerstone for the achievement of his mandate, you see the composition of the Army, Navy and Air Force including the Police, DSS, and Civil Defence and all other stakeholders.”
