The Federal Government has approved the continuation of training in junior and senior courses for officers of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College in Nigeria.
Although no specific date for the resumption of training was immediately disclosed, the approval was predicated upon an appeal the Liberian Defense Minister Brownie Samukai made to Nigeria during a visit early this year.
Also approved in the interest of the longstanding collaboration between both governments, is the resumption of Phase Two of training for Liberian pilots at the International Aviation College in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria.
This resolution was disclosed by Nigerian Defense Minister Mansur Muhammad Dan-Ali during a visit to the Liberian Defense Minister Samukai at his Barclay Training Center Office in Monrovia recently.
Dan-Ali also revealed the Federal Government’s approval of the offer of commissioning training slots at the Nigerian Defense Academy for both the Regular Combatant and the Direct Short Service Programs.
The training will equally enable Liberian soldiers acquire advanced knowledge at the Nigerian Defense Academy, Nigerian Command College, and other courses at Nigerian military institutions.
The minister of Defence was accompanied by ranking officials of the Defense Ministry of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
