Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has said that the nation might need about 100,000 more soldiers to win the war against Boko Haram.
He advised that at least 50,000 people from Borno should be engaged by the military with or without western education to prosecute the ongoing war on terror.
The governor stressed that the war against insurgents cannot be competently fought and successfully won without manpower, technology and proper funding. “We need to recruit nothing less than 50,000 men from Borno, we have able-bodied men that can join the Nigerian Armed Forces on an ad-hoc basis.”
