President Uhuru Kenyatta has stressed the need for African countries to strengthen their institutions, stating that the failure of institutions to deliver on their mandate threatens the security of such nations.

He made this known while delivering a keynote address at the induction programme for course “33” at the National Defence College on Monday, 28th October 2024, in Abuja.

The keynote speaker added that when people do what they ought to do, the system is protected; underlining issues of insecurity is system failure.

The Commandant of the College, Real Admiral Olamuyiwa Olotu, noted that the participants would be equipped with skills and competencies to help meet the present-day insecurity challenges.

The Chairman of CCB also attended the programme. Participants were also drawn from nineteen countries, including Nigeria, Congo, Egypt, and Kenya, among others.
