While addressing the Media shortly after taking over as the Defence Spokesman, Colonel Abubakar said he was aware and conscious of the security challenges in the country and the need for collective efforts to confront it. “There is absolute need for synergy of efforts and collaboration among all stakeholders to re-strategise in the area of information collection, management and determination in counter terrorism and insurgency” he stressed.

The new Director of Information stated that he would make himself readily accessible, available, responsive and proactive in dealing with media and other partners in the course of promoting the military/media relationship.
