Ojo Ademola, a professor, has praised the Nigerian Armed Forces for their efforts in quelling insurgency in the nation.

Ademola, the nation of Nigeria’s first professor of cyber security and IT management, made this revelation in a statement on Monday.

He praised the Nigerian Armed Forces’ current leadership as being of the highest calibre.

He also praised General Lucky Irabor, the Chief of Defence Staff, for his expert touch and distinctive style of leadership, which have proven to be masterstrokes in the fight against terrorists.

He said the ability of the Irabor to get the other service chiefs and other personnel of the Armed Forces behind him is commendable and have added a significant stride to the Armed Forces.

“The level of synergy among the service chiefs is what you see in the very advanced world.

“Before he was appointed as the Chief of Defence Staff, we witnessed that military operations were ongoing, but lacked a clear strategic, tactical and operational frontage. We didn’t achieve much because several distractions prevailed.

“Immediately Gen. Irabor came, we got a clear sense of what we needed to do to clear out the insurgents and win the war,” he said.

Ademola added that what is presently playing out in ongoing military operations is the use of the intellectual framework to deal with security challenges.
