MAIDUGURI—The  member representing Hawul in Borno State House of Assembly, Ayuba Wakawa, has commended President Muhammad Buhari and the Nigerian military for moving the Military Command and Control Centre to Maiduguri to confront the Boko haram insurgency.

Wakawa, in an interview with journalists after the inauguration of the lawmakers at the Assembly complex, said the decision to move the military command centre with all its service chiefs was long overdue

Hawul is one of the local government areas badly affected by Boko Haram terrorism.

He said: “The decision to move the military high command to Maiduguri is a welcome development. Our people have suffered much in the hands of insurgents, many were brutally killed, places of worship, business centres, offices, houses and other property worth billions of naira destroyed.

“I agree with President Buhari’s decision, as this will give hope to our people and end the lingering crisis bedevilling us.”
