The COAS, who was represented by the Director General, Land Forces Simulation Centre, Major General Felix Omoigui said this development has brought to the fore, the need to properly defend the territorial integrity of the nation in the cyberspace.

Hence, the establishment of the Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command (NACWC).

According to him, NACWC and other cyber affiliated formations were established to combat cyber threats and cybercrimes within the Nigerian Army sphere of influence.

However, he said there is need for requisite manpower to effectively operate in that space.

He charged personnel across board to be resolute and patriotic in discharging their responsibilities in service to the nation and humanity.
