The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen CG Musa, has directed the reorganization of the former Operations Hadarin Daji (covering Katsina, Kebbi, and Sokoto) and Operation Whirl Punch (encompassing Kaduna and Niger) into a unified Joint Task Force for the Northwest, designated as *Operation Fansan Yamma*. This restructuring aims to better align our military operations with current operational needs.
To effectively fulfill the non-kinetic objectives of this operation, additional restructuring is necessary to integrate further media resources across the Northwest theater. This WhatsApp group will serve as an online platform for informing and educating the local populace about ongoing operations, while fostering trust and cultivating partnerships with media stakeholders.
We are committed to ensuring consistent and accurate communication, which will ultimately enhance operational success. We commend all existing members for their support and cooperation, and we encourage even greater collaboration to address the security challenges facing the Northwest.
Army Public Relations officers in Gusau @~suleiman omale and Katsina @~oiza.ehinlaiye@gmail.com will continue to serve as the primary points of contact for media in their respective states. I will also briefly act as the Media Coordinator for this operation.
