President Bola Tinubu and the new service chiefs
Bloggers and Vloggers Content Creators Association of Nigeria (BAVCCA) has welcomed the recent appointments of Nigeria’s new service chiefs, urging them to redouble efforts to protect all citizens, regardless of religious, ethnic, or regional background.
In a statement released on Monday, BAVCCA President Ikechukwu Chukwunyere emphasized the critical nature of the service chiefs’ roles amid the nation’s current security challenges.
The association also expressed readiness to collaborate with the new leadership on nationwide public-enlightenment initiatives.
Chukwunyere stressed that the service chiefs must act impartially to restore public trust and foster national unity.
“The service chiefs must therefore not only fight threats, but win hearts and minds. The media—including digital creators and content professionals—are key partners in this mission,” he said.
He reaffirmed BAVCCA’s commitment to unity, transparency, and responsible reporting at a time when Nigeria faces heightened global scrutiny over human rights and governance.
“Through ethical storytelling and digital advocacy, we can help build a Nigeria where every citizen feels protected, where institutions are trusted, and where our common identity is stronger than what divides us,” Chukwunyere added.
He said BAVCCA plans to leverage its network of over 5,000 digital creators, bloggers, vloggers, and online journalists to promote narratives of resilience, reconciliation, and collective progress.
The association president outlined several initiatives to strengthen collaboration between media and security agencies, including:
Launching digital-media campaigns in partnership with the new service chiefs to highlight security efforts, achievements, and citizen responsibilities.
Hosting media workshops for digital creators on responsible reporting of security issues, civil-military relations, and human rights.
Establishing direct communication channels with security institutions to ensure accurate, timely, and verified reporting, combat misinformation, and strengthen national cohesion.
“Effective security extends beyond military operations—it also depends on citizen awareness, media transparency, and collaborative public engagement,” BAVCCA highlighted.
Chukwunyere concluded: “As the new service chiefs settle into their roles, BAVCCA stands ready as an ally in public-education and digital-media partnership. With synergy between security leaders and digital creators, Nigeria can headline a new era of renewed hope—one backed by clarity of purpose, transparency of action, and inclusion of all.”
