The Northern Coalition Against Terrorism has commended the army’s leadership for “proper” welfare and humanitarian assistance to communities affected by insurgency.
The group which made this known in a statement signed by Yusuf Mshelia, its national coordinator, said the army’s yuletide engagements with the communities in the crisis affected regions is commendable.
Mshelia said the military’s latest extension of humanitarian gestures to the host communities has given the people not only physical emancipation but also emotional respite.
“The kind gestures and humanitarian acts exhibited by the Nigerian armed forces will go down in history as one of the cardinal steps at clearing the stripes caused by terrorism,” he said.

“It is a commendable effort just as it forms the base for a complete healing process for these already battered people.”
He said such gestures were needed for sustainable peace and development of the region.
The statement also condemned attacks on the military by sections of the media, describing such as “diversionary and undeserving for a military which has proven its dedication to the nation’s unity and the war against terror in particular”.
