President
Buhari says the Federal Government may integrate members of the Civilian Joint
Task Force (JTF) into the Nigerian military and police after the war against
the Boko Haram ends.
President
Buhari gave the insight while responding to questions at a press conference
after the 2nd Regional Security Summit in Abuja on Saturday May 14th.
According
to him, those who fall within the age bracket of recruitment may be considered
“For
those who have received military training, it will be advised either to recruit
them if they are within the age bracket of recruitment in the military or the
police,” he said He spoke on the importance of the Civilian JTF in the fight
against Boko Haram “They have been of tremendous help to the military because
they are from there, they have local intelligence and some of them are retired
military or retired policemen. Since they were drawn by the authorities of
their respective states, they were taken into confidence and trusted.
Personally, with the experience I have as a military man and during the civil
war, using local intelligence, using local authorities from ward, to local
government, to the state can improve our intelligence collection,” he said.
