About 56 personnel of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) and various para-military institutions on August 8, 2024 graduated from the Africa International Institute of Science and Technology (AIIST) University College.
Delivering the keynote address at the graduation program on behalf of the Minister of National Defense, the Deputy Minister for Operations, Spencer Leeco, said, “As we go about the arduous task of nation building, and the rebuilding of professional military and law enforcement agencies in our country, we must think big and widen our imaginations.”
“And we must put big dreams and imaginations into action. By doing so, individually and collectively, we will build a country with a respectable security image that our generation and future generations come can be proud of,” he expressed.
The Deputy Defense boss also encouraged the graduates to expand their education in computer literacy and information technology.
He intimated that “In this age of globalization, the important role technology plays in modern security cannot be overemphasized.”
Giving an overview remake the program, the Vice president for Administration at AIIST University College, Ishmael Konneh, expressed his delight of the program which started with three computers and had grown up to University level that graduates over hundred students from different institutions or work places.
The Vice president for Administration is also appealing to security institutions, private organizations, and donor partners to extend helping hands to the institutions in the preparation and graduation of quality personnel from the Security sectors.
