Amosu said, “I want to assure you that the war in the North-East of our country is not ‘moi-moi’. It is a serious war. This is a fight that concerns the sovereignty of our great nation.
“One of the Americans who came said, the Boko
Haram terrorists are not sophisticated, they are complicated. How do
you undo a complicated issue? Want to recommend to you, it is
simplicity. Simplicity brings about clarity.
“The Boko Haram terrorists use Okada, they
use Hilux. Now, what do we need to do? We need people that will think
out of the box. Why would they use Okada and Hilux? They want to be
fast, because the capability they have cannot really match our
capability. That is why we talk about asymmetric; war between unequals.
So the enemy with low capability will go for unusual tactics.
“So, as you go into the field, I want to
advise you, what we need is something out of the box. It is not going
to be conventional. We are going to look to you to bring about the
changes that are necessary.
“For me, the Boko Haram terrorist activity is
a huge opportunity for the armed forces to expand capabilities. It has
been a long time that we have not built on the capabilities that we had
at the inception of the armed forces. So, it is a big opportunity to
expand capability. So, you should be excited to join those in the field.
