“At present, our country Nigeria is bedevilled with several security challenges and no challenge can be resolved without first of all studying it, unless by virtue of miracle,” he said.

Commander in charge of Integrated Fire Support Command, Brig Gen Christopher Peter Ugwu, said the training was aimed at making its officers to be proactive and introduce them to new techniques as well as refresh them on what they had already known about their operational experiences.

General Ugwu, who is the sponsor of the military workshop, disclosed that the International Committee of the Red Cross trained their officers on international humanitarian and first aid, stating that the training would go a long way in making them to be better planners and tackling humanitarian issues that might arise in any operation.
