DECAN Honors Dr Kana for Contributions to Defence Journalism

The Defence Correspondents Association of Nigeria (DECAN) has conferred its patron title on Dr Ibrahim Abubakar Kana, who is the Permanent Secretary of the General Services Office at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF). This recognition is in appreciation of his significant contributions to defence journalism and the institutional development of DECAN.

During his previous role as Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Defence, Kana supported initiatives that improved ministry operations, enhanced engagement with defence correspondents, and advanced military healthcare delivery. His efforts included facilitating the successful registration of DECAN with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), which provided the association with formal corporate recognition and strengthened its institutional standing.

This conferment reflects DECAN's appreciation for individuals who foster professional collaboration between government institutions and defence journalists, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in promoting transparency and public understanding of defence and security issues.
