Federal Government To Allow Journalists Join Troops During Military Operations For Accuracy Reports

The Federal Government has announced that it is exploring arrangements that will allow journalists to be embedded with military units during selected operations, in a move designed to improve the accuracy of security reporting and strengthen public understanding of counter-insurgency and internal security efforts.

The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Gwabin Musa (rtd.), made this known on Thursday at the National Security Summit organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in partnership with the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
