The Army will establish additional Forward Operation Bases (FOBs) to support increasing operations nationwide.The Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) , Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, who disclosed this yesterday, said the establishment of more operational bases had been captured in the 2017 budget. “The increasing operational activities in the fight against Boko Haram insurgency and terrorism in the North-East has necessitated the Nigerian Army establishing this operational base in Buratai village,” said the CoAS while commissioning the military FOB at Buratai Village in Borno State. He added: “You’re aware that Buratai serves as a major link between Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Gombe states in the North-East sub-region of this country. Therefore, this military base becomes necessary in supporting our operations in the area for the protection of people’s lives and property.”
