According to him, the course is aimed at developing the capacity of the officers of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) and other security agencies on joint campaign planning at the operational and strategic level.

He said the course would also develop an understanding of the joint and integrated approach to operations as well as the operational level planning process and operational art.

The CDS further said that course would enhance participants’ understanding of campaign planning process.

He said the participants were drawn from the services, military institutions, Nigeria Police, Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Customs Service and Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).

According to him, the inclusion of the DSS, police, NSCDC, NCS and NIS personnel on the course is to generate a synergy, promote rapport and understanding in the roles of campaign planning.

”This is particularly now that the AFN is engaged in asymmetric warfare which made most operations joint and interagency.

“It is viewed as a precursor to entrenching multi-agency training to enable us develop understanding and expertise in planning and executing campaign at either single, joint or multi-agency levels.

“The United Kingdom has assembled experts in this field for engineering the process, ” he added.

Irabor expressed confidence that the training would facilitate discussions and debate to ensure that participants were provided with greater knowledge and understanding of the entire planning process.

Earlier, Maj.-Gen. Adelokun Eyitayo, Director, Campaign Planning, Defence Headquarters, said that the course was unique, ”because it involves different security agencies of the government.

Eyitayo said that while the BMATT would be providing the skeleton, the participants were expected to build on it. (NAN)

NNPP Crisis: Assembly Members Deny Factional Differences

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
