NAOSRE President, Femi Oyewale, Publisher Of Sahara Weekly Magazine, Bags Leadership Award
President of the National Association of Online Security Reporters, NAOSRE, Mr. Femi Oyewale, on Sunday, April 25, received a leadership award in Lagos.
The award which recognizes Oyewale as a “Prudent Union Leader and Communicator Par Excellence,” came on the stable of Apex Media Group, publishers of Apex magazine on the occasion of its 2021 awards and unveiling of the magazine.
Justifying the honor, Chukwudi Samuel Timothy, founder of Apex Media, noted that Oyewale Femi and other awardees have demonstrated positive leadership traits that are manifesting in the art and science of rebuilding Nigeria.
He explained that the philosophical viewpoints and administrative competence of Oyewale have endeared NASORE to policymakers who have endorsed the online media association as an integral partner in national development.
Chukwudi sued for concerted efforts among leaders and stakeholders to earn Nigeria its right of place in global reckoning.
Chief Superintendent of Police Emmanuel Onah, former Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Idimu Police Station, who attended the event “As a friend” lauded Chukwudi’s professionalism and media ethical standards. He, however, expressed disdain about the unprofessional conduct of some journalists and human rights activists saying “Some journalists and human rights activists think they know more than everyone. They feel police officers are not educated and that could be irritating most times,” he stated.
Responding, Oyewale appreciated the management and editorial board of Apex Media Group for the honor.
He advised Apex media not to relent in its efforts at deepening constitutional democracy and fiscal federalism as the basis for sustainable development and lifting the masses out of poverty.
Oyewale promised to always avail NAOSRE’s instrument of supports to Apex media whenever it is necessary to do so.
The NAOSRE president, in the same stratum, admonished Supol Onah to remain passionate about the media and champion a true Nigeria that would work for every citizen as a senior security personage arguing that he should not succumb to the temptation to devalue his respect for the media.
He reminded Onah that Nigeria is witnessing a period classified as one of the most trying in its history which does not support reservations about the altruistic tendencies of media practitioners.
“I listened to the great testimonies here about you. Everyone here who has said something today has something good about you to say.
“I respect your maturity, objectivity, and sagacity, all of which you have placed at the disposal of your security functions as a DPO. I urge you to keep the spirit.
“You are right about the overbearing tendencies of some of us. But the fourth estate of the realm, imperfect though it may be seen, is still playing its role as a foremost democratic institution.
“Therefore, on behalf of those that may have offended you, I plead on their behalf for forgiveness, Oyewale said.
The NAOSRE president explained that NAOSRE which he leads is unshaken in its principled position and capacity to speak truth to power saying the association has demonstrated consistency, great courage, forthrightness, leadership to promote harmony between citizens and security agents.
He cited the example of its December 11, 2020, Security Summit at Oriental Hotel, Lagos where stakeholders advocated for improved fiscal estimates for military operations.
“NAOSRE is, therefore, obliged, morally and to keep Nigeria safe, to keep doing what we are doing, as fully as we can, in any measure designed,” Oyewale who was represented by the association’s PRO, Idumonza Isidahomhen, stated.
Others who were honored at the Apex award include but are not limited to Sir Mike Okiro, former Inspector General of Police, West African Examination Council, WAEC boss, Patrick Areghan, Pastor Osaro Odion, and Honourable Rosaline Idimogu.
COAS Launches Nationwide Security Renewal Mission in Plateau
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, on Thursday led a high-level delegation of security chiefs to Plateau State, flagging off a nationwide security renewal mission aimed at strengthening civil-military cooperation and restoring lasting peace across the country.
The visit to Jos, the Plateau State capital, marks the first phase of a coordinated national effort to address persistent security challenges through joint operations, community engagement, and proactive intelligence gathering.
Governor Caleb Muftwang received the delegation, describing the initiative as a critical step toward stabilizing affected communities and reinforcing public confidence in security institutions.
Civil-Military Synergy Takes Centre Stage
At the heart of the mission is a renewed emphasis on collaboration between the military, civil authorities, and local communities. Speaking during the visit, Lt. Gen. Shaibu stressed that national security must be treated as a collective responsibility.
He urged citizens to support security agencies by remaining vigilant, sharing credible information, and complying with lawful directives, noting that effective security cannot be achieved in isolation.
Community Engagement as Confidence-Building Tool
In a departure from purely operational engagements, the Army Chief held direct consultations with community leaders and residents in Jos, reinforcing the importance of trust and dialogue in conflict resolution.
Lawmakers, including Dachung Bagos and Ladi Dangyok, commended the initiative, stating that visible engagement by top military leadership helps rebuild confidence among citizens and fosters cooperation.
Proactive Security Operations Underway
Operational updates were provided by Major General Folusho Oyinlola, who disclosed that troops under Operation Enduring Peace have intensified surveillance, intelligence-led patrols, and coordinated actions with other security agencies.
According to the Army, the approach is designed to prevent escalation of threats, safeguard lives and property, and stabilize vulnerable communities before crises emerge.
A Shift Toward Sustainable Peace
Military authorities emphasized that the Plateau visit is part of a broader, long-term strategy to transition from reactive responses to sustainable peacebuilding nationwide. The framework includes strengthening local resilience, ensuring justice, and maintaining continuous engagement with stakeholders.
Analysts view the initiative as a significant policy shift, reflecting a more inclusive security architecture that integrates community participation with military operations.
Call for National Unity
The Army leadership concluded with an appeal to Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and support ongoing efforts to promote unity and peace.
“The success of this mission depends not only on the armed forces but on the cooperation of every citizen,” the COAS stated.
The nationwide security renewal campaign is expected to extend to other regions in the coming weeks as authorities seek to consolidate gains and build a safer, more unified Nigeria.
IGP Disu Visits Plateau, Orders Tactical Deployment To Reinforce Security
The Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Thursday paid a working visit to Plateau State following recent unrest, holding strategic talks with Governor Caleb Muftwang on measures to strengthen security and prevent further disturbances.
As part of immediate steps to stabilise the situation, the police chief authorised the deployment of specialised tactical units to support officers already on ground across affected areas.
Governor Muftwang commended the swift intervention of the police leadership, praising the dedication and professionalism of security personnel working to restore calm. He also acknowledged the efforts of mobile police officers and lauded the leadership of the state’s Commissioner of Police, Bassey Ewah.
Both the Nigeria Police Force and the Plateau State Government reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding lives and property, stressing that enhanced collaboration remains key to restoring lasting peace in Plateau State, popularly known as the Home of Peace and Tourism.
Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor
……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”
The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.
Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.
Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.
These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.
God Works by Principle, Not Gossip
In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.
The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.
