The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin, has lamented that lack of aviation fuel is negatively affecting ongoing counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations against the Boko Haram terrorists in the North-East.
Gen. Olonisakin therefore seek the intervention of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to ensure that the much-needed Jet A1 is available for the successful prosecution of the ongoing operations against the remnants of the terrorists around the Lake Chad Basin area.
Olonisakin said this when the Group Managing Director (GMD) of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, and other top management team of the Corporation visited his office on how to tackle the security challenges in the country.
The Defence Chief, while responding to Baru's request to help tackle the rising state of insecurity promised to cooperate with the NNPC to maintain security at the Niger Delta region area and other areas of interest.
