We will responsibly use social media in our operations, Says DHQ

By Raphael Jov, Abuja




The Defence Spokesman, Brigadier General, Onyema Nwachukwu made the disclosure at a maiden Social Media Live Chat at the Defence Headquarters  in Abuja.

"The truth is social media has come to stay, and social media influencers are great tool for national development." Brig Gen Nwachukwu, said

General Nwachukwu who parleyed with hundreds of followers and hosted a group of online Journalists  said that the military had received a lot of assistance from the social media Communities worldwide which the Defence spokesman said they look forward to more.

He added that the Defence Human right desk is open for complaints of any kind.

The chat also featured success recorded by the Military in the counter-insurgency drive. "Boko Haram is fully defeated.... no state no village is being controlled by Boko Haram, they only engage in criminal activities to help aid their Operations...."

The social media chat saw Defence Spokesman receiving award for the "best Quick to response" spokes person of the year for being proactive to the requests for information by the press. The award was the brainchild of Security Affairs, a Peace and Security Civil society organisation.

In the same vein, the Army also honoured Security Affairs through its Founder Austin Peacemaker for supporting the Military through its Social media Campaign.
