Shettima, represented by the Minister of Defence, Muhammad Badaru, noted that education would continue to be a key component of human security.
He said education drives technological advancements, innovations and provides individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the workforce, including those related to national security, such as intelligence, defence, cybersecurity, and diplomacy.
