What happened
The Nigerian Army is conducting operations against Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province in the northeast, leading to a broader military reshuffle involving 15 generals. Major General Ibikunle Ademola Ajose was appointed to lead these operations, replacing the previous commander. Separately, the Chief of Training graduated 924 members of the Borno State Forest Guards after their training at the Nigerian Army Training Centre, Miango.

Why it matters
The command changes occur as Nigeria prepares for presidential elections, amid years of insurgency and banditry. The graduation of the forest guards aims to strengthen capacity for resource preservation and community protection in the region. The ongoing insecurity also affects Nigeria’s electoral process in certain areas.
The Nigerian Army is the formally mandated military force responsible for defending Nigeria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
