The Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, has boasted that the Boko Haram terrorists and their activities would soon become history.
He said with the empowered Armed Forces of Nigeria and the collaboration of the Multinational Joint Task Force, the Boko Haram menace would soon be a thing of history.
Speaking Monday, in Abuja, when he hosted the staff and members of the United Kingdom Royal College of Defence Studies, Olonisakin said the military had recorded landslide victory over the Boko Haram terrorists.
He noted that the terrorists had before now halted socio-economic activities in the North Eastern part of the country.
Olonisakin, who was represented by the Chief of Defence Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Bashir Saidu, noted that terrorism and insurgency were global security challenges.
Earlier, in their mission statement, leader of the delegation, Major General Lawrence Craig, said the visit was part of the Royal Defence College Geo-Strategic Study Tour to understudy the Nigerian military winning strategy in combating Boko Haram terrorism in the North East and militancy in the Niger Delta region.
He lauded General Olonisakin and the Nigerian Armed Forces for their great contributions to nation building.
He observed that in spite of the many security challenges, the Nigerian military had been able to give a good account of itself as a leading military force in Africa and the sub-region.
