The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, has urged senior military officers and strategic stakeholders to translate strategic thinking into concrete action in tackling Nigeria’s challenges.
Speaking on Friday in Abuja at the graduation of participants from the Nigerian Army Resource Centre Strategic Management and Policy Study Course 7/2024, Oluyede, represented by Maj.-Gen. Gbemiga Adesina, reminded the 25 graduates that the nation needed their intellect as much as their military service.
He stressed that the course went beyond theory, integrating leadership, policy, entrepreneurship, psychology, and research to equip officers for leadership in a fast-changing security and governance environment.
Oluyede called on the graduates to act as change agents by applying the knowledge gained for personal growth, institutional progress, and national service. Director-General of NARC, retired Maj.-Gen. Garba Wahab, said the programme had become a trusted platform for fostering collaboration and understanding among Nigeria’s defence, security, and civil institutions, noting the steady participation of key agencies like the Department of State Services and Defence Intelligence. He urged the graduates to leverage their new skills and networks to address national challenges, stressing that no one holds a monopoly of knowledge.
