“It must enter into collaborative efforts and synergy in certain operations with the media, which we believe will go a long way to not just project our activities or operations, but at the same time play a role which nobody can do apart from you.”

He also said “Mobilising the citizens, informing them about what is happening and equally sensitising them.

“The media has a very important role in mitigating the crisis that is befalling our nation.

“We have many of the Boko Haram members, who surrendered as a result of our operations in Sambisa.

“We have over 700 now and very soon we will open the camp in the North-East where we will be keeping them before the government decides on what to do with them.’’
