Don’t Call It Operation Lafiya Dole, See Its New Name – Army

 

Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Attahiru Ibrahim

The Nigerian Army has renamed Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD) to Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) to reflect inclusiveness in the North-East geopolitical zone.

The Army in statement on Friday signed by Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, said the approval for the renaming was given by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru.

According to the statement, the renaming is premised on the fact that the Nigerian Army (NA) has made a lot of progress over the years and needs to re-align for better efficiency.

It also added that the renaming is in line with the COAS Vision of having “A Nigerian Army that is Repositioned to Professionally Defeat all Adversaries in a Joint Environment.”

The COAS further assured the nation that the Nigerian Army under his leadership will continue to pursue the path of joint actions and oneness in prosecuting the counterinsurgency war.

It is worthwhile to note that The renaming also affects the re-designation of the Army Super Camps which now reflect the nomenclature of the formations and units followed by the name of the locations they occupy, while sub-units are redesigned as Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) followed by the name of their locations. All these changes are with immediate effect.
