One hundred and three senior military officers, including paramilitary officers, have been inducted into the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM).
The ceremony was held at the National Defence College (NDC) in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
NIM’s President/Chairman of the Council, Prof. Olukunle Iyanda said the Institute’s specially designed Executive Training for Membership and Upgrade Programme (ETMUP) will keep its participants abreast of best international professional management practices.
He said: “For the Armed Forces to be on top of their responsibility of safeguarding the territorial integrity of nations, it behoves every nation to ensure that its military is well trained, equipped and ready at all times. The Nigerian Armed Forces have been called to task in recent years in the battle against terrorism, insurgency and banditry, which have ravaged the country.
“There is no doubt that the specially designed ETMUP of the Institute, which this apex military institution subscribed to, is one of the means of keeping the officers who undergo the programme abreast of best international professional management practices. We believe that this programme will continue to impact positively on the professional life of the beneficiaries, especially the way they tackle and manage their daily challenges.
“This is the fifth time we are having the induction of the highest echelon of the Armed Forces. As members of the Institute, we have the overall responsibility to start the change from ourselves and radiate this change in our families, organisations and the nation.”
