The Nigerian Army said on Saturday that it was recruiting war journalists that would be deployed to report the Boko Haram anti-insurgency war, Operation Lafiya Dole, in the North-East.
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col Sagir Musa, stated this in a release, adding that the journalists would be resuming by Monday, April 6.
He said,
“Applications are invited from interested qualified applicants who must be Nigerian journalists who will join Operation Lafiya Dole in Maiduguri.
“Successful applicants will be embedded accordingly. They should be ready to accompany and cover troops on risky expeditions. As much as necessary, their safety will be assured.
“Interested qualified journalists should forward their applications to the Army Public Relations, Army Headquarters, Garki, Abuja.”
