Former Senate Whip, Ali Ndume, has said that the Nigerian military with its new collaboration with the United States, has shown visible improvements with its war against insurgents.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ monitored by DAILY POST on Wednesday, Ndume said regardless, the military still needs training, equipment, motivation, and ammunition.
According to him, the Nigerian Armed Forces has been able to go into the 3 black spots: Sambisa, Mandara Mountain, and the Lake Chad region.
“The handicap of the military is still the same thing that I’ve been talking about, but the situation has changed and also improved.
“But it is not over until it is completely over. Now the dry season has set in and that means visibility in the North is clearer.
“This new collaboration, intelligence sharing, and even to some extent, equipment support with America has enabled the Nigerian Armed Forces to go into in the North East.
“There is visible improvement in terms of the war against the insurgents, but they still need what I call team training, equipment, motivation and ammunition,” he said.
