The army chief who was represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Lt. Gen. Lamidi Adeosun, told the visitors that the security of international and local aid workers was of paramount importance to the Nigerian government, and that actions that would expose them to danger should be avoided.

He therefore, cautioned that humanitarian workers should avoid conflict areas because of the indiscriminate attacks by Boko Haram terrorists.

His words: “Despite your neutrality and impartiality, at times situations make it difficult for you to have the reach you would like to have – neutrally without any security man or apparatus seen around you.

“We must continue to operate with understanding so that while you are providing succour for the people, you also don’t come into harm’s way.”

The COAS noted however, that the military would, continue to ensure adequate security for members of the organisation to help them alleviate the plight of persons affected by the insurgency.

President of the MSF, Mr. Kristos Christi, in his response, said the group visited to solicit the army’s support to provide medical assistance to thousands of Internally Displaced Persons in the North-East, adding that they had delivered thousands of babies for pregnant women in the region.
