WorldStage Newsonline— Nigerian Army has inaugurated the Army War College Course 2/2018 to bridge training gaps among participants.
The training is design to last 33 weeks with 54 participating officers including one participant each from the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC).
Commandant Army War College Nigeria, Major General John Eneche, at the inauguration ceremony on Friday in Abuja identified the participants as the critical mass of their various organizations.
Eneche, said “It’s about 20 years they left Nigeria Army Academy, most of them for the mid carder courses they did 10 years ago. The security challenges now are not in consonant to the teaching of 10 years ago at operational level. That is why we need to bridge that gap.
“But the mean thing is the operational level. We hear of operation Last-Code, Lafiya Dole; these are the areas that decide the outcome of the security challenges.
According to him the operational level expertise is highly sought in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous security environment.
“Since its inception, the college has been able to run its maiden course as well as provide Nigerian Army with an academic platform to rethink and re-strategize on the best approach suitable to confront most security challenges currently being faced by in the country,” he said.
Eneche, urged the participant to channel their interest in the inter-agency aspect of the course, “as most contemporary operations require inter-agency collaboration to succeed,” he said.
