NUJ and Nigerian Army Collaborate to Enhance Security

The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kaduna State Council, and the Nigerian Army’s 1 Division have pledged to enhance their collaboration to tackle security challenges in Kaduna State and the Northwest. This commitment was made during a courtesy visit by Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 1 Division, to the NUJ Kaduna State Council.

Abdullahi emphasized the importance of the media as critical partners in promoting peace and public awareness, particularly during both conflict and peacetime. He noted that while his responsibilities cover Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, and Jigawa states, Kaduna is his host state, necessitating a strong relationship with the NUJ.

Abdullahi urged NUJ members to collaborate closely with the Army and other security agencies to foster stability in the region. In response, NUJ Chairman Abdulgafar Alabelewe welcomed Abdullahi and congratulated him on his promotion, highlighting the strategic importance of 1 Division in maintaining security in the region.

Alabelewe also pointed out ongoing security concerns in Southern Kaduna and surrounding areas.
