    “It could also be recalled that the CDS in a bid to actualize this mandate, met with service chief’s, Inspector General of Police, Heads of security agencies and critical stake holders where they all agreed to work together towards achieving increase in oil production as directed by the President”.

    The CDS was received by the Joint Task Force Commander of the OPDS, Rear Admiral John Okeke and the land Component Commander, who also doubles as the General Officer Commanding 6 Division, Major General Jamal Abdussalam.

    The operational commanders took turn to brief the CDS on their operational plans.
