Major-General Leo Irabor has been appointed the Commander of the Military Command and Control Centre, MCCC, in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The MCCC was renamed ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’ Command and has now been handed over to Maj-Gen Irabor, who is the immediate past Deputy Commander at the Command.
It was learnt that Irabor’s predecessor, Major-General Hassan Umaru, has now been moved to the Army headquarters to take the place of late General Yushau Abubakar Mahmood as the Chief of Training and Operations.
It would be recalled that Gen Mahmood died in an accident last week on the Damaturu-Maiduguri road.
Speaking shortly after taking over on Thursday at a ceremony in Maimalari Military Cantonment, Maiduguri, Irabor appealed to his staff officers, commanders, front line troops as well as members of the host community and the media to give him maximum cooperation to quickly mop up Boko Haram militants and celebrate the victory against insurgency in the country.
