He noted that the officers completed their training at a time of evolving security threats, including terrorism, insurgency, cyber warfare and climate related conflicts, which require strategic thinking, inter agency cooperation and strict adherence to democratic values.
The President charged the graduating officers to apply the leadership, analytical, and operational skills acquired at the college with integrity, courage, and humility while mentoring younger officers and remaining loyal to constitutional authority.
The Federal Government said it is deepening reforms aimed at modernising the armed forces, strengthening joint operations, and improving personnel welfare and capacity development, stressing that a secure nation remains the bedrock of sustainable growth.
