CDS: International collaboration remains critical to collective security
The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Olufemi Oluyede, has emphasised that international collaboration remains critical to collective security across Africa and globally.
General Oluyede said this when he spoke at the closing ceremony of a four-day Capacity Building and Regional Doctrine Workshop organised by the Joint Doctrine and Warfare Centre (JDWC) at the Army War College Nigeria, Abuja.
Represented by the Chief of Defence Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal F. O. Edosa, the CDS described the establishment of the JDWC as a “decisive step towards strengthening Nigeria’s sovereignty and enhancing the operational effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
General Oluyede emphasised that doctrine remains the intellectual foundation of military operations, stressing that insights generated during the workshop must be refined into doctrinal publications that will guide strategy, policy and operational concepts.
He expressed confidence that the workshop has equipped participants with the technical expertise and perspectives necessary to enhance doctrinal development within their respective countries.
The CDS noted the strong participation of national and regional partners, saying their presence underscores a shared commitment to strengthening doctrinal frameworks in response to evolving and complex security challenges.
