Nigerian Army Prioritises Media Collaboration For National Security – COAS

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede has reiterated that the Nigerian Army will proactively collaborate with the media to build trust and cooperation in pursuing national security.
Oluyede stated this at the opening of a 2-Day Training for Media Operatives in Nigeria, organised by the Army Headquarters Department of Civil-Military Affairs, on Tuesday in Abuja.

The COAS, the director-general, Nigerian Army Heritage and Future Centre, Maj.-Gen., represented. Gbemiga Adesina said the media was responsible for providing timely and valuable information to the public while ensuring that such information does not compromise national security.

He said the Nigerian army had strived to strike a strategic balance between protecting law-abiding citizens, national security, and the media’s right to disseminate information.

Oluyede said the training highlighted the significance of military and media collaboration in addressing security challenges.

According to him, as security situations evolve, public institutions like the media must also adapt to meet the challenges of our time.
