The posting was approved by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General TUKUR BURATAI.
Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel SAGIR MUSA, made the announcement in a statement circulated in the media.
The statement explained that the redeployment was a routine exercise intended to reinvigorate the system for greater professional effectiveness and efficiency.
It is unclear if the re-deployment was a response to recent attacks on troops battling the Boko Haram and ISWAP sect.
