Army Acting GOC 7 Division, Pledges Sustained Supports and Collaboration With NSCDC To End Insurgency In Borno State
The Acting General Officer Commanding ( Ag GOC) 7 Division Nigerian Army (NA) and Commander Sector 1 Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), Brigadier General Ugochukwu Unachukwu has assured the new State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Mohammed Hassan Agalama of maximum support and collaboration towards the actualisation of its mandate in safeguarding lives and property across all communities in Borno state.
Brigadier General Unachukwu gave the assurance during the maiden visit of the State Commandant to Headquarters 7 Division in Maimalari Cantonment on Thursday, 11 September, 2025. Speaking further, the Ag GOC said the symbiotic relationship between the NA and the NSCDC in Borno State was part of the larger NA family relationship with the NSCDC Headquarters.
In his words, “we shall continue to build upon the already exiting collaboration especially in terms of joint operations and training as well as responding to critical operational exigencies when the need arises”. He therefore welcomed the State Commandant to Borno State and wished him a successful tour of duty.
Earlier in his courtesy remarks, Commandant Mohammed Hassan Agalama said his visit to Headquarters 7 Division was to register his presence as well as to acquaint himself with the leadership of the Division following his assumption of duty as the 12th Commandant in Borno state.
He also said part of the visit was to appreciate and commend the Division for its effort in the theatre and to further seek support and collaboration considering the complimentary role NSCDC play in support of the Nigerian Army and other para-military agencies.
The quest for interagency collaboration underscores the need for complementary efforts towards the fight against insurgency as well as to support the ongoing resettlement effort of the Borno State Government.
