The fight against insurgency in the
northeast is receiving popular
support as Toyota Nigeria Limited
(TNL) recently donated some Hilux
vans to the Multinational Joint Task
Force (MNJTF) in Maiduguri. Receiving the donation, Nigeria's
Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS)
General Abayomi Gabriel
Olonisakin, expressed profound
gratitude to the management and
staff of TNL describing the company's gesture as a show of
public support and approval for
MNJTF actions. "This donation is a laudable one
and very timely, too. This shows
that the fight against Boko Haram
insurgency will come to an
effective end going by the
presidential directive. The provision of adequate security, not
only in the northeast, but in all
corners of the country is a task
that must be done and done
quickly too," he said. The CDS, who was represented at
the occasion by Air vice Marshal
Olutayo Oguntoyinbo, promised
that the Hilux vans would be used
to ensure success of the operation
against all forms of guerrilla movements and cross-border
crimes around the Lake Chad
Basin. While charging soldiers to make
maximum use of the vehicles, he
urged other companies and
corporate organisations in Nigeria
and countries around the Lake
Chad Basin to emulate Toyota Company in this noble gesture. He
called on all Nigerians to come
forward and support the Nigerian
Military in the ongoing campaign
against terrorism. ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER ADVERTISEMENT In his own remarks, Chief of the
Army Staff (COAS), Lt-General
Buratai stated that the vehicles will
be used to most effectively to
achieve the three mandate of
MNJTF which include, defeat of the Boko Haram terror group in all
the area they occupied. "The Hilux van would be put to
most effective use for the
achievement of the three mandate
of MNJTF namely, to defeat the
insurgents in all the countries they
exist whether in Nigeria, Niger Republic, Chad and Cameroon,
and to facilitate the humanitarian
and logistics needs of troops in the
conduct of their duties by providing
escort and security for them. "The vehicles would also be used
for the distribution of materials to
IDPs and to re-establish state
authority to create safe
environments for those displaced
to come fully back to their villages and continue with their day-to-day
activities". The COAS described the action of
TNL as a very important role in the
realization of the presidential
directive of routing out terrorists in
three months adding, that in
addition to using the vehicles for patrol purposes, it will also be used
to escort humanitarian support aid
to IDPs and to re-establish civil
authority by conveying them to
their villages. ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER ADVERTISEMENT TNL's Managing Director, Mr Kunle
Adeojo said that all members of
his management board are agreed

indeed for the singular fact that
businesses and potentials can only
be fully maximized in a safe and
secure society. That is why Toyota
Company reckons that the crusade against insurgency
deserves the support and solidarity
of all hence the donation of this
pick-ups to aid your operations". According to a statement issued
