Some select journalists in Kaduna have spent a full day in a military environment to gain first-hand knowledge and experience of the daily routines in the typical life of a soldier.
The initiative was organised as part of the annual Exercise HASKE BIYU of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC) Jaji, Kaduna State.
The college had on Tuesday concluded the regimental package titled 'A Day in the Life of a Soldier,' which it described as "a unique initiative that allowed members of the press and other participating agencies a first hand knowledge and experience of the daily routines in the typical life of a soldier in the unit."
Exercise HASKE BIYU is part of the college's national problem-solving platform focused on tackling national security issues using a whole-of-society approach.
Major highlights of the event include dressing up in military kits, physical training exercises, routines in the unit, having a feel of military customs, traditions, administration and justice system, as well as military training for operations and mental conditioning, among others.
According to a statement issued by Lieutenant Colonel Olumide Victor Olukoya, the College Public Relations Officer, the package was aimed at fostering better understanding and cooperation between the military and civilian stakeholders for a better working relationship that will ultimately aid speedy solving of national security problems.
"Participants were engaged in daily routines of a soldier which include morning physical training, Muster Parade, Mountain Climbing Drills, AK 47 Rifle Safety Drill, Live Firing, Tour of Training Areas, Guard Mounting and Crowd Dispersal Drills."
"Exercise HASKE BIYU 2025 serves as a platform for cross fertilization of ideas, collaboration, and development of strategic frameworks aimed at enhancing Nigeria's internal security and counter-insurgency capabilities.
"The exercise brings together senior officers from various security agencies, the press, civil society organisations and stakeholders from various ministries, departments and agencies to enhance their collective knowledge and understanding of military operations other than war," Olukoya stated.
