The military has reviewed the curriculum of the National Defence College, to meet current security challenges in the country.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ola Ibrahim announced the review of the curriculum at the inauguration of the college course 22 in Abuja.
Admiral Ibrahim said the institution is determined to enhance the capabilities of the armed forces through training and re-training of military officers.
Security agencies have continued to advocate an active public intelligence which will greatly assist in crime prevention especially in the face of the persistent insecurity challenge in the country.
A total of 141 participants including 17 foreign officers have been selected to undergo 11months training on the rudiments of statecraft and strategic thinking.
The curriculum which has expanded to enable officers confront new threats would also require new approaches and greater sophistication in equipment and capabilities of security agencies.
The Minister of State for Defence, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Aliyu Ismaila, assured the military that government would continue to implement measures to reposition security operatives in the country to ensure accurate delivery of their constitutional mandate.
In the same vein, the need to constantly update skills has prompted the move by the inspector general of police, Mr Mohammed Abubakar to adopt intelligence-led policing strategy to address national security.
