Nigeria’s
Former Military Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar (rtd), has suggested
that politicians should be included in programmes that will enhance their
discipline and forthrightness at the National Defence College.
General
Abubakar believes that the standard and discipline associated with the National
Defence College will impact in the formation of a good political structure in
Nigeria.
The former
head of state was guest speaker at the event to mark the silver jubilee
anniversary of establishment of the National Defence College in Abuja.
“The
National Defence University, if established, would focus solely on strategic
methods that feature at the highest echelon of government.
“If our
politicians, our NGOs and stakeholders in this country attend short courses in
this institute, they would have a better understanding of security and nation
building, that is, if the college is going to be funded to be running short
courses for all the stakeholders in this country,” the former Head of State
said.
Also
gathered at the event were serving military officers, past participants and
commandants at the National Defence College.
The
consensus at the end of the meeting was that after 25 years, government needs
to pay more attention to the college so that it can further benefit from the
strategic nature of the institution.
