Jere made the call at the closing ceremony of a training, code named ‘Exercise Haske Biyu’ organised for members of Senior Course 44 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, with some para-military personnel participating
The Acting Comptroller General was represented by Kaduna Comptroller of the Service, Mr Odeh Adapoyi.
He said that the exercise would help in fostering effective policing of Nigeria’s security borders.
He pointed out that no agency could effectively tackle security threats without synergising with sister security organisations.

“We are all expected to make the best use of the knowledge gained from this exercise to improve our collective effectiveness in internal security and low intensity conflict operations,” he said.

He explained that such interactions would help in developing new techniques that would serve as basis for updating current operational procedures on internal security and low intensity conflict operations.
He said that the essence was to encourage people to appreciate the importance of joint planning , information sharing and freedom of action.
The commandant expressed the hope that the peace and stability of Nigeria, as well as other countries, would be guaranteed as a result of the understanding.
