President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 restated his earlier stance that no Nigerian territory will be occupied by terrorists.
President Jonathan made the remark via his official Facebook page.
He further went ahead to laud the gallantry of Nigerian troops, stressing that there would be no relenting until all territory is retaken and insurgency eradicated.
He said: “I am daily updated about the war on terror and the progress being consistently made by the Nigerian military. Let me say that I am proud of the valour displayed by the officers and men of our security services.
“As the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, I commend our military for their gallantry in confronting and rolling back terrorists and enemies of Nigeria. This is only the beginning.
“Just as I assured our troops when I visited them at the frontline and all Nigerians during my last presidential media chat, we will not relent until every inch of Nigerian territory is retaken and the insurgency is defeated.
“Never again shall Nigerian territory be occupied by terrorists! We remain grateful to our troops and we will continue to support them by ensuring they have the best training and equipment as well as enhanced conditions of service.
“God bless Nigeria and I invite all Nigerians to join me in saying #VictoryForNigeria.”
