Nigeria, March 11 -- Christopher Musa, the minister of defence, has summoned all service chiefs to a meeting following the resurgence of insurgency in the North-east where more than three military bases have been overrun by insurgents in less than a week.

Mr Musa, according to Daily Trust, invited the service chiefs to his office on Wednesday. The minister and the military chiefs spoke about reviewing strategies to improve the war on terror.

Mr Musa, a retired army general and former chief of defence staff, acknowledged the killings of military operatives, but noted that the casualties were higher on the terrorists' side.

Further details of the meeting have not been made public as of the time of filing this report.
