ABUJA – President Mohamadu Buhari on Thursday charged the new Service Chiefs to synergize with other nation’s security apparatus and hunt down Boko Haram insurgents within the next three months.

The president said that that would be the only way the new military helmsmen would justify the confidence resposed in them by his government.

In a brief but colourful swearing in ceremony of the service chiefs performed at the presidential Villa, Abuja, president Buhari noted that the activities of the insurgents have claimed many lives and destroyed the economic lives of the people.

“I want to reiterate that your appointments and subsequent elevation to these ranks are based on your pedigree as first class senior officers who identify sterling leadership qualities. Therefore I have no doubt in my mind that all of you are equal to the task ahead of you. You must acquaint yourselves and justify the honour done to you.
