Health & Wellness Capacity Strengthening Programme Launches with the Army War College Nigeria

The Embassy of Health and Wellness has partnered with the Army War College Nigeria (AWCN) to deliver the Health & Wellness Capacity Strengthening Programme, themed "Building Resilient Leaders for National Defence."

The programme takes a wellness-centred approach to emergency preparedness and response, training officers, faculty, and staff in a structured sequence — scene safety, assessment, life-saving actions, emergency activation, and handover — rather than reactive, panic-driven responses.

What the programme delivers

Sessions equip participants with advanced medical preparedness, mental resilience, preventive health systems, and emergency response capabilities, with the aim of strengthening leadership performance and institutional readiness across the College.

Training has included hands-on emergency-response practice, including CPR and first-aid simulation with training manikins, delivered on-site at the Army War College.

Part of a broader institutional footprint

The programme extends the Embassy's wider work across Nigeria's security institutions, which now integrates 7 security institutions and reaches all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
