1. On behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff, General AG Olanisakin (NAM), I have the pleasure to unveil the Directorate of Defence Media Operations (DDMO) to the Press Corps and the maiden press briefing of the Directorate. I must first of all let you know that this new outfit of the Armed Forces of Nigeria is the latest strategic initiative of the Chief of Defence Staff, in line with our military effort on media operations.
2. In this regard, our channel of communicating the operational activities of the Nigerian Military to the general public has been streamlined to one source which is henceforth the Directorate of Defence Media Operations. This implies that, the Directorate is now the clearing house for all information relating to the operational activities of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, which will provide authentic information on all issues bothering on military operations.
