Nigerian military yesterday announced that its Command and Control Centre recently relocated to Maiduguri, Borno State, would commence full operations within the next 21 days, even as the Centre has taken delivery of high-tech equipment and additional operations personnel. In a statement issued in Abuja through its Director of Army Public Relations, DAPR, Colonel Sani Usman, the military said the installation of high-tech equipment were expected to be completed within the period. Upon taking over power, President Muhammadu Buhari, in his inaugural speech, directed the military Command and Control to move from Abuja to Maiduguri, to combat the Boko Haram menace. Equally, the Nigerian Army last week announced the deployment of a reconnaissance and an advance team for establishment of the Military Command and Control Centre, MCCC, in Maiduguri and Yola. Similarly, the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lt-Gen. Kenneth Minimah, and that of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu, last Tuesday, had since taken over control and commenced operations at MCCC. According to Colonel Usman in the statement, “The installations of hi-tech equipment, infrastructural development of the Centre and posting of additional operations staff have also commenced. “These are to be completed within 21 days when MCCC would be fully operational.” With the establishment of the Centre, he said, all strategic and operational decisions on the fight against terrorism and insurgency would emanate from the MCCC. “This will ensure faster response time; improve situational awareness and better coordination of all stakeholders. “The centre will also give the needed impetus that would ensure prosecution and successful conclusion of the war against terrorism. “It will also provide the required interface between the Armed Forces of Nigeria and Multi-National Joint Task Force to be deployed at the Lake Chad Basin area at the end of the month of July 2015,” he said.
