Retired Major General Rogers Nicolas advocated for enhanced military training to address security challenges across Plateau State. The former Operation Safe Haven commander emphasized during Wednesday television appearances that regional terrain presents significant operational difficulties. Military forces require comprehensive assessment of equipment and personnel capabilities within active zones. Federal authorities must provide advanced logistics and technological resources to improve combat effectiveness. Nicolas stressed that current approaches rely heavily on kinetic operations while non-kinetic strategies remain underdeveloped.
The general questioned whether official war declarations against insurgency exist at federal levels. He argued that comprehensive national power instruments should engage when conflicts reach warfare status. Current military operations face constraints from inadequate resource allocation across vast territorial expanses. Personnel deployment must match the geographic scale and topographical challenges of affected regions. Enhanced training programs combined with modern equipment will enable forces to operate more successfully in complex environments.
