 The Nigerian Army has assured of improved security in a number of states. General Officer Commanding, 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Hassan Taiwo Dada, gave the assurance when he paid a courtesy visit to Governor Chukuma Soludo at the Governor's Lodge, Amopia. The GOC said the visit was to discuss potential collaboration on the security front and to strengthen the synergy between the Army and civil administration. During the meeting, Major General Dada discussed several issues relating to security in the region and the need to continue to tackle the menace posed by insecurity. The GOC rather emphasized the importance of those coordination between the Army and civil administration to ensure peace and security, assuring the governor of extended support and assistance in handling security challenges that may arise in the future. Responding, Governor Soludo commanded the Army's efforts in maintaining peace and stability in the region. I really want to appreciate what you have been doing for me, Commander, and the units that have come to look out for you. And I think one of the areas that I would like to simply address is the issue of intelligence. And the things I'm proving now, people have realized that they have been deceived and they have come to the reality that, look, this is how it works. The need of these sort of people from the Army and from all these forces have had one point or the other where they should have sacrificed and made their souls rest in peace. But while we pray for the history of their souls, we also use them to be able to remind ourselves that they would not have died in death. That we should never, I mean we would never let it be said that they died in death. And the only way we would have, Governor Soludo said that they never died in death, is to make sure that they cause for which they died this kind of mission. And that cause is the full security of life and cause. Full security of life and cause. It's quite a strange thing that befell us all the time. And I think that we are one of the Southeast. Because I say it is self-inflicted. What we are going through in terms of the kind of insolence that we are finding here in the Southeast, self-inflicted, who got a lot out of it, open ourselves and you'll find a number of swap of views in the bush. And involved in playing criminality, that's nothing else. There's nothing nowhere else to describe it. Not fighting for anything, not for anybody. They are fighting for their pockets. The United States.
