The Nigerian Army Institute of Science Education and Technology (NAISET) in Ilorin, Kwara State, recently held a graduation ceremony for its Third Quarter Courses. The Acting Corps Commander Education, Brigadier General Yushau Dogara Ahmed, charged the graduating students to apply the knowledge acquired during their training to improve their performance in the field. He was represented by the Commandant of NAISET, Colonel Abbas Ahmad Abubakar.

Brigadier General Ahmed noted that the courses were designed to develop competent, confident, and professionally equipped personnel capable of meeting the evolving educational and institutional requirements of the Nigerian Army. The Advanced Nigerian Army Education Corps (NAEC) Officers Development Course aims to strengthen the professional capacity of officers entrusted with educational responsibilities. The course is crucial in building a highly professional fighting force.

The Training Development Advisers Course, another program offered at NAISET, equipped participants with the competencies required to contribute effectively to the design, development, and continuous improvement of training. This remains fundamental to operational readiness. The Acting Corps Commander Education commended students of the Advanced Map Reading and Specialist Map Reading Courses for their commitment to improving critical military skills.

Accurate terrain interpretation and effective use of maps remain vital components of military planning, navigation, and operations. Brigadier General Ahmed urged the graduates to apply the knowledge gained in their respective formations and units. This will enable them to make informed decisions and execute their duties effectively.

Colonel Abubakar, the Acting Commandant of NAISET, expressed appreciation to the Acting Corps Commander Education for his continued support towards the actualisation of the institute's mandate. He attributed the growth of the institution to moral discipline, intellectual development, and the willingness of personnel to continuously acquire new knowledge and competencies in service to the nation.

The courses offered at NAISET reflect the broad and strategic responsibilities of the Nigerian Army Education Corps. Modern military effectiveness extends beyond combat proficiency to include intellectual preparedness, professional competence, technological awareness, and the ability to adapt to an increasingly complex operational environment. This is crucial in ensuring the Nigerian Army remains effective and efficient.

The graduation ceremony marks a significant milestone in the development of the Nigerian Army's educational capabilities.
