numbers and e-mail addresses that will
enable the citizens to reach out to the force
in the ongoing campaign against terrorism.
The Directors of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen
Ibrahim Attahiru, who stated this at a briefing in
Abuja on Wednesday, urged the citizens to
contribute to the campaign by giving information
to the Nigerian Army Information Alert System.
The objective of the initiative, he said, was to aid
the Army as well as other security agencies to
overcome the threat of terrorism in the country.
He said, "Once more, let me assure all Nigerians
that the Army will remain agile and proactive by
continually enhancing her capability to preempt,
dislocate, and disrupt the terrorism threat.
"This will be achieved through effective
collaboration with other security agencies in order
to defeat terrorists and other criminal elements
and ensure the safety of lives and property of law
abiding citizens.
"To this end, the Army calls for the support of all
good citizens in its fight against terrorism by
providing information through the NA alert
system."
Attahiru added that the force was taking proactive
measures to ensure that terrorism did not spread
to other parts of the country.
He explained that the recent arrest of suspected
terrorists in Lagos was a confirmation of the
vigilance and determination of Nigerians to prevent
the scourge from spreading in the country.
He promised that the force would embark on a
constant review of its "strategies toward greater
sophistication in tackling the security challenges
facing the country."
He also said the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen
Azubuike Ihejirika, had commenced
implementation of the Freedom of Information Act
as enshrined in the FoI Act of 2011.
Attahiru said the Army had opened an office for the
FoI Act to give the public access to the operations
of the service.
