Gen Olukolade Resigns as FOSSRA Chairman

The retiring Director of Defence Information
and Chairman of Forum of Spokespersons of
Security and Response Agencies (FOSSRA),
Major-general Chris Olukolade, has handed
over leadership of FOSSRA to the Director of
Information, Nigeria Navy, Commodore
Kabiru Aliyu.
At the monthly meeting of the forum at the
Centre for Crisis Communication (CCC), in
Abuja yesterday, Olukolade formally
informed his colleagues about his
retirement, having reached his retirement
age.
According to him, he ought to have left the
service since November 2014 when he
applied for voluntary retirement but was not
obliged by the Army Council who extended
his stay in the service on the grounds that it
was not proper for him to go at that time.
Speaking further, Olukolade thanked
members of the forum and their agencies
for the support and understanding  accorded
him while he chaired the forum since its
formation in 2013.
He also solicited the same measure of
support for his successor while reminding
them of the core essence of the forum
which is to deepen the collaboration and
understanding among the security and
response agencies in information
management and communication.
