“As you are well aware, the world is saddled with several threats to peace and security. We have instability because of terrorism, ethnic and religious disputes, natural, environmental and human induced disasters such as the recent spillage and subsequent floods in some regions which had devastating effects on humanity.
With your current knowledge and skills gained, it is important that you constantly strive to arrive at a clearer understanding of what it takes to contain any of these threats, be it natural or man-made. I exhort you therefore as professional military officers to be ahead in your awareness and preparations at all times to be on top of challenges that you might encounter in your future endeavours,” Mrs Addo-Danquah advised the graduating the class.
