Brig. Gen. Victor Ezugwu, GOC, 7 Division of Nigerian Army, Maiduguri, stated this while speaking with newsmen in Maiduguri.

``We are winning the war. We are bringing the war to conclusion, very soon,'' Ezugwu said.

``We want everybody to help us to support the peace that is emerging.

``The peace is more enduring and more gratifying for us in Borno and other parts of the North-East of Nigeria,'' Ezugwu said.

He commended the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) as well as Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) that had been partnering with the military toward the success of the counter-insurgency operation.

``I thank traditional rulers and NGOs that are stakeholders to us in the fight against insurgency.

``Their accurate information, their support and advice to us have given rise to a growing civil/military relationship that is existing between the military and the authorities in our areas of operations,'' Ezugwu said
