He hailed the Nigerian military for its patriotism and sacrifice for the unity and peace of the country. He also disclosed that the Governor of the state, Gov. Shettima, told him, during their meeting, that the state government would commence the rebuilding of the first batch of 1,000 houses in Bama on January 2016.

He said the journalists who have seen the devastation in the liberated towns would show more restraint in their reporting and be better placed to write on the insurgency from an informed position, while anyone who has visited the affected areas will be more careful in beating the drums of war.
