The newly appointed Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brigadier General Samaila Mohammed Uba, has officially assumed duty at the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) after a colourful but brief handover ceremony.
General Uba, who succeeded Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, yesterday in Abuja, pledged to counter terrorists’ false narratives and misinformation, reaffirming military’s commitment to truth and transparency in its public communication.
He said the Directorate of Defence Information, under his leadership, would focus on four strategic priorities — unity of purpose, timeliness and transparency, digital innovation, and effective media relations.
