The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Olufemi Oluyede, has reaffirmed the Armed Forces of Nigeria’s (AFN) commitment to a people-centred, ethically grounded and professionally accountable military.
He made this known at the opening of the Human Security and Gender Advisers Course at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Asokoro, Abuja, according to a statement by the Director, Defence Information, Major General Samaila Uba. Oluyede was represented by the Chief of Defence Standards and Evaluation, Major General Ibrahim Lassa.
The CDS commended the British Defence Staff for their sustained support, noting that the collaboration reflects the strong defence partnership between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
He said Nigeria’s security challenges are complex and require modern approaches that prioritise the protection of civilians, human dignity and societal resilience.
Oluyede added that human security and gender advisory roles are key force multipliers that enhance military effectiveness, legitimacy and mission sustainability.
