Nigerian Army to focus research on society, military
The Nigerian Army Education Corps (NAEC) commander, Bello Tsoho, says military institutions will focus on research relevant to the military and society.
Mr Tsoho disclosed this on Wednesday in Ilorin at the opening of a three-day combined conference of the Nigerian Army Education Corps held at the Sobi Cantonment.
The commander said the army has complete tertiary institutions consisting of degree, NCE, and national diploma and higher national diploma that can conduct good research capable of solving the country’s problems.
The NAEC commander, who said the conference had brought together education experts in the military to brainstorm on some identified challenges in the education sector of the army, stated that it was an opportunity to bring the eggheads together.
“This event is a combined first and second-quarter conference, and it is an opportunity provided to assemble all Nigerian Army Education Corps on how to move the military forward and how to transform the Nigerian Army Education Corps,” Mr Tsoho explained.
He added. “The conference is to provide a roadmap to get solutions to some of the challenges facing the education corps. We are aiming at taking the Nigerian Army Education Corps to the next level. We are going to embark on research on anything relevant to the Nigerian military and the Nigerian society at large.”
He also mentioned that “we have tertiary institutions, degree-awarding institutions, National Certificate of Education (NCE), National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND).”
Mr Tsoho urged the participants to work on all issues in the education blueprint that would be laid before them at the programme.
