Maj Gen Anaryu according to a press release e-signed by Information Officer, Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, Mediaon made the call on Saturday, 14th September 2025, during his familiarisation visit to Headquarters Theatre Command OPHK in Maiduguri, where he was received by the Theatre Commander, Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar.
Describing logistics as the “backbone of every military operation,” the CCST highlighted the need for synergy between the Theatre Command and the Corps of Supply and Transport to effectively address operational demands. He explained that his visit was aimed at obtaining first-hand information on the theatre’s logistics requirements and interfacing with field commanders for practical solutions.

He also assured of measures to tackle challenges such as the shortage of trained drivers and the need for standard vehicle sheds in the theatre.
In his response, Maj Gen Abubakar welcomed the CCST and praised the Corps for its continuous support to Operation HADIN KAI. He pledged sustained collaboration in logistics, training, and operations, while acknowledging the quality of officers deployed by the Corps to the theatre.
