INSURGENCY: ARMY PROMISES SUSTAINED COLLABORATION WITH MEDIA

The Nigerian Army has promised to sustain collaboration with the media towards educating Nigerians on its ongoing anti-terrorism operation in the north-eastern part of the country.

Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff, made the promise while inaugurating a newly refurbished studio at the North East Headquarters of the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) in Maiduguri.

He said that sustained collaboration with the media was imperative because of the role of the media in disseminating information to the people.

“What happened was that I visited the station as part of our media programmes to enlighten the public on our activities in the countries.

“I was surprised at the state of facilities at the studio and when I was asked to help I decided to offer a helping hand,’’ Buratai said.
