In its effort to keep the general public well informed about the activities of Operation LAFIYA DOLE the Nigerian Army established a Media Centre in Maiduguri. The media centre is based on the directive of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai. The aim of establishing the media centre was to provide real time and accurate information and to provide avenue for a better interaction with the media particularly on Military operations in the North East.
