President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has restated his administration’s commitment to empowering Nigerians through policies and programmes aimed at tackling the root causes of insecurity.

The President made this known at the Passing Out Parade and Commissioning Ceremony of Cadets of the 72nd Regular Course, Short Service Course 48 (Army), Direct Short Service Course 33 (Air Force), and Branch Commission 2 (Air Force), held at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Afaka, Kaduna State.

Represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, President Tinubu listed job creation, macroeconomic stability, human capital development, poverty alleviation, and social security as key areas of focus for his administration.

He expressed delight at the NDA’s recent overhaul of its training curricula and methodologies to meet contemporary operational demands, noting that the Academy has continued to evolve in enhancing the operational readiness of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Charging the graduating cadets, Tinubu urged them to safeguard Nigeria’s economy and uphold the nation’s core values in line with the discipline and virtues instilled in them at the Academy.

The President congratulated the cadets and their families, encouraging them to rededicate themselves to the service of the nation.

A total of 874 cadets were commissioned at the ceremony.
