The Federal Government says it will embed journalists with military units during selected operations to improve the accuracy of security reporting and help the public better understand counterinsurgency and internal security activities. Minister of Defence General Christopher Gwabin Musa (retd.) made the announcement on Thursday at a National Security Summit in Abuja organized by the Nigeria Union of Journalists. Musa said the Defence Ministry is exploring arrangements that would strengthen collaboration between the media and security agencies and build public confidence in military operations. He also described modern warfare as spanning multiple domains, noting that the “information space” is as important as land, air, and maritime areas. According to the minister, security outcomes should be assessed not only by battlefield results but also by the level of public trust in security institutions. The initiative is intended to give citizens clearer insights into military engagements, reduce misinformation, and support accountability in Nigeria’s security sector, while positioning journalists as partners in national security management.
