Wahab revealed that seven editions of the course had been conducted, with excellent feedback, and that digital training had been incorporated to meet the demands of the 21st century. He urged participants to apply the knowledge gained to improve their unit activities.
Brigadier-General UM Aliyu, the Director of the Leadership Development Institute at NARC, highlighted that the course had 60 participants, including 31 officers, 28 soldiers, and one civilian staff member from the Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command. The course aimed to train NCOs up to lieutenant colonels to lead effectively in the modern security environment, foster creativity and critical thinking, and enhance emotional intelligence and decision-making skills.
