<h4>Imperatives Of Training</h4>
<p><em><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reproduces a piece by Kennedy Anyanwu of the Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information, NASPRI, in which he underscores the imperatives of training and retraining of officers in information dissemination and management</em></p>
<p>Training as the saying goes is an integral part of any work force which seeks to achieve maximum standards of productivity among its workers. Lack of training and re-training breeds redundancy which further translates to low or no productivity.</p>
<p>The need for training therefore cannot be over emphasized.<br />
It is based on this assertion that the Nigerian Army, over the years laid more emphasis on the training of its personnel so as to defend its mandate of protecting the territorial integrity of the nation.</p>
<p>No wonder it is commonly said that “We train more in peace time and work less in war times”. The notion simply proves that training adds more knowledge, widen the horizon and amplify the practicability of troops to keep them mentally fit and alert when in a common ground with the adversary.</p>

<p>In his welcome address, the Acting Commandant, Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information, Lieutenant Colonel Adamu Ngulde, said the workshop was to discuss contemporary media and security issues, in view of the importance of media in modern warfare.</p>
<p>He also noted the importance of Commanders and Spokesmen to avoid media hostility and antagonism, as it would pose great threat to the success of military operations.</p>
