In his remarks, the State Commandant, Dr. Umar J. G. Mohammed, who was represented by the Head of the Intelligence and Investigation Department, DCC Yaqeen Rafiu Olanrewaju, urged the participants to take full advantage of such training opportunities to enhance their skills and keep pace with the ever revolving demands of intelligence and investigative operations.

He emphasised the critical role that continuous learning and professional development play in maintaining the high standards of the Corps, particularly in an era where security challenges are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

In a goodwill message, ACG Stella O. Oladeye, (Acg Intelligence NHQ, Abuja) stressed the critical need for such seminars, noting the increasing complexity and dynamic nature of threats to national security.
