It seeks to improve discipline, enhance inter-agency cooperation and equip participants with the skills needed to respond effectively to Nigeria’s evolving security challenges. Representing the General Officer Commanding, 8 Division, and Commander, Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Major General Bemgba Koughna, the Chief of Staff, Headquarters 8 Division, Brigadier General Ibrahim Gambari, welcomed the participants and thanked the Nigerian Army Resource Centre for facilitating the programme.

The Director-General of the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, retired Major General James Gwaza Khalifa Myam, represented by retired Major General Ifiok Obot, said the course was specially designed to address the demands of combat leadership. “Combat leadership places a heavy burden on senior non-commissioned officers and demands unmatched discipline, competence and commitment,” he stated.
