He assured the Command that the MNJTF will do everything possible to address issues raised during the briefing.

General Irabor later addressed troops where he lauded them for the gallant efforts put in so far in the fight against BHT. He used the medium to implore them to operate as one family and urged them not to relent their efforts as the fight is not yet over, but to keep up with the tireless spirit.

The FC later proceeded to Kousseri, where he paid a courtesy visit to the Senior Divisional Officer Mognon Bouba and the Sultan of Kousseri, His Royal Majesty Alhaji Abba Mahamat Moussa respectively.
