Nigerian military must use the cyberspace more in the fight against terrorism.

Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo made this known during the graduation ceremony of senior officers of the Nigerian Army-course thirty-nine held at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, in Kaduna State.

Osinbajo also urged the graduands to make maximum use of the forty-eight weeks of intense training on the field, to reinforce a better ideology and mindset among Nigerians.

He also expressed displeasure over the loud expressions of prejudice and hate in the country and therefore, asked that a line be drawn between freedom of speech and hate speeches to avoid tragic consequences.

At the ceremony, the Acting President presented certificates to 187 officers from Nigeria and 10 other countries.

In his address, Professor Osinbajo said: “You have made a success of this course after 48 gruelling weeks, congratulations. Of course, we must specially commend all the spouses of our graduands here, but for whose sacrifices and personal deprivations there would have been no celebrations for many here today”.

“It is also gratifying to note that amongst the 187 graduating students are 10 students from sister African countries, and five senior members of staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Defence Intelligence Agency, Nigerian Defence Academy, Nigeria Police Force and the Federal Road Safety Commission.

“I must commend the governments of Cameroun, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, The Gambia and Togo who nominated their officers to attend this course. By so doing they have strengthened the brotherhood we share as Africans but more so, they have shown great foresight on the issue of our common security concerns on the continent,” he added.
