President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday ordered the removal of all military checkpoints set up in the wake of Boko Haram activities and also to remove all the military men along the roads across the country.
This meeting was held with the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Aliyu Ismaila, Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff and Inspector-General of Police at the Presidential Villa, Abuja with the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari on Monday.
On the absence of heads of some security agencies at the meeting, Ismaila said, “This is not a national security meeting, this is a briefing by the Ministry of Defence on the operationalisation of the Multi-National Joint Task Force and the relocation of the command control centre to the North-East, so it is something restricted to the ministry of Defence.”
Motorists had been facing harrowing experience on the Abuja-Keffi Road and some other roads following the military checkpoints mounted at strategic spots.
The service chiefs left the meeting happier because the President updated and enriched their strategic plans.
