Represented by Maj. Gen. Hassan Umar, the Chief of Training and Operation, Buratai made the statement on Monday during the Combat Support Arms Training Week at the 7 Division Headquarters in Maiduguri.
“I am glad to state that significant progress has been made and several successes recorded especially in the current operation.
