The officers, promoted to the ranks of Brigadier General, Navy Commodore, and Colonel, were honoured for their outstanding performance in the ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the Northeast.

Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, represented by Permanent Secretary, Government House, Barr. Mustapha Busugurma congratulated the newly promoted officers and assured the military of the state government’s continued support in the fight against insurgency.
