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.

“This training is timely, especially with the Nigerian Army deployed in various operational theatres.

“Its objective is to facilitate a conducive working relationship between the military and the media. “I believe it is essential for security agencies and the media to engage in forums like this, as both parties work towards the same purpose – a secure Nigeria where every individual is essential.

“I am encouraged by the array of speakers lined up for this event, and I am confident that we will all be better equipped to advance national security,” said.

The Chief of Civil-Military Affairs (CCMA), Maj.-Gen. Chibuisi Gold said that addressing the evolving national security challenges required a whole-of-society approach.

Gold said it was crucial to build a mutual understanding between the military and the media rooted in trust, accuracy, and balanced reporting.

He said the training was part of the Nigerian army’s commitment to enhancing civil-military relations and fostering an informed, professional, and secure information environment.

According to him, this strategic collaboration exposes media professionals to the Army’s doctrines, operations, and communication strategies.

“Accurate and constructive reporting can galvanise national support, enhance accountability, and contribute to collective security.

“A well-informed media is a strategic partner in our fight against security threats.

“This initiative bridges the knowledge gap between the security sector and media practitioners, promoting responsible reporting that supports national security interests,” he said.

The CCMA urged the participants to engage actively, ask questions, and seek clarity on complex issues.

He appreciated the COAS’s strategic direction and support and expressed optimism that the engagement would strengthen the rapport between the army and the media.
