60 Nigerian military officers for armament training in India


60 Nigerian military officers are undergoing a six-week extensive training in highly specialized fields of weaponry and communication in India.


A statement from the Indian High Commission in Abuja said the training, offered by the Indian Armed Forces, was to further enhance the capacity of the Nigerian troops as they battle Boko Haram insurgency in the north east.

The training was sponsored by the Indian government and will continue until June 10, 2017, the statement said.

India’s “sustained” support to the Nigerian armed forces was due to the strong bilateral relations between both countries, it added.

“A large number of training courses are being offered by the Indian Armed Forces to further enhance the capacity and capability of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

“In continuation to this effort, highly intensive armament training for sixty personnel of the Nigerian Army has commenced in India on May 01, 2017. This training is being imparted to both Officers and soldiers and will continue until June 10, 2017.

“The six week extensive training includes highly specialized fields of weaponry and communication.

“The funding for the training is being provided by the Government of India,” the statement said.

The Staff and members of the United Kingdom Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS) led by Major General Lawrence Craig have paid a visit to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin at the Defence Headquarters Abuja. The visit was part of the Royal Defence College Geo-Strategic Study Tour to understudy the Nigerian military winning strategy in combating Boko Haram Terrorism in the North East and militancy in the Niger Delta region.
The CDS noted that Terrorism and insurgency are global security challenges and the Defence Headquarters has recorded significant victory over the Boko Haram Terrorists who hitherto halted socio economic activities in the North East. He expressed optimism that with the reinvigorated Armed Forces of Nigeria and the collaboration of the Multinational Joint Task Force, the BHT menace would soon be over.
The CDS who was represented by the Chief of Defence Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Bashir Saidu expressed appreciation to the UK for extending their training programme to some of Nigerian officers in their prestigious Royal Defence Academy.
In his response, the Team Leader, General Lawrence stated that the visit was part of the Royal Defence College geo-strategic tour to acquaint the members with the emerging global phenomenon in African perspective. He applauded the CDS and the Nigerian Armed Forces for their tremendous contributions to Nation building and observed that in spite of the myriad of security challenges, the Nigerian military has been able to give a good account of itself as a leading military force in Africa and the sub-region.
Members of the delegation were briefed on the operational activities of the DHQ which includes: Lafiya Dole, Delta Safe, Awatse, Safe Haven, and International Peace Support Operations.
