He stressed that the NCS is very keen to participate in the activities of the NARC. The CG reminded the delegation that the NA remains his first constituency, thus, according to him “I will be the first to advertise what the army is doing to my men and see how we can also key in for the benefit of our officers”.
Earlier in his address, the DG NARC Maj Gen Garba Wahab (rtd) briefed the CGC and his management staff on the programmes and activities of NARC. He thanked the CG for receiving them into his office despite the short notice and he was obliged to come and intimate him on the activities of the Centre.
The DG seized the opportunity of the visit, to brief the CG on the Strategic Management and Policy Studies Course (SMPSC) which is a nine months programme for senior military officers and their equivalent in Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government.
Furthermore, the DG mentioned that the SMPSC is done in collaboration with Nigerian Defence A Post Graduate Schools leading to the award of Masters Degree to successful participants.
