81 Division's Major General Babalola Enhances Media Ties

Major General Adebayo Babalola, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, has pledged to strengthen collaboration with the Association of Defence Correspondents of Nigeria (ADCON) to enhance communication between the military and the media. This commitment was made during a courtesy visit from ADCON leadership, led by President Mr. Philip Nwosu of The Sun Newspapers, to the 81 Division headquarters in Lagos.

The visit aimed to establish a professional relationship and explore ways for improved interaction. Nwosu emphasized ADCON's dedication to promoting responsible and accurate reporting of military activities while balancing public information rights with operational security.

He clarified that ADCON seeks a structured communication channel rather than unrestricted access to sensitive information. Babalola acknowledged the media's role in helping the public understand military operations and urged defence correspondents to report on the Armed Forces' achievements with context and fairness.
