The Director, Nigerian Army Chaplain Services, Catholic, Col. (Rev. Fr.) Charles Iroegbu has admonished purveyors of information to properly and objectively present them in order to have positive impact on the receivers.

He made the call in Bonny Camp, Lagos, on Friday during the graduation of 70 students from the Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information (NASPRI).

He said information was a powerful tool that could make or mar a society, adding that, the school has trained the graduating students to project the image of the military to the outside world.

“The training acquired is meant to equip you with skills on information management because information is a powerful tool for national development,” he said.

The commandant, NASPRI, Colonel John Agim, urged the graduates to hold on to the spirit of studying beyond the purpose of examination.
