The Nigerian Senate Committee on Defence and Army has directed the Chief of Army Staff to relocate his office temporarily to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, in an attempt to heighten the fight against insurgents in the north east.

Alarmed by the killing of students at the Federal Government College in Yobe State on Tuesday, the Senate directed the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Kenneth Minimah, to provide special security for all schools and health institutions in the crises prone states in the North.

The committee gave the directive when Major General Minimah came to defend the budget of the Nigerian Army.

The chairman of the committee, Senator Thompson Sekibo, urged the Nigerian Army to re-strategize on new ways to curb the incessant killing of Nigerians in the north east.

In his response, Major General Minimah assured the committee that the Army was up to the task of ending insurgency in the country. http://www.channelstv.com/home/2014/02/26/nigerian-senate-directs-army-chief-to-relocate-to-maiduguri/
