NDC Hosts Golf Kitty for Participants of Course 32 – Commences Graduation Ceremony activities

The National Defence College (NDC) has today, 10 August 2024, organised a Golf Tournament (Kitty) to commence the graduation activities of Course 32 participants who will be graduating on Friday, 23 August. The Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI) Maj Gen Emmanuel Undiandeye was the Special Guest of Honour at the event.

Undiandeye opened the tournament to mark the commencement of the Game at the TYB International Golf Resort and Country Club Course in Abuja. Undiandeye said the aim of the Golf Kitty was to mark one of the concluding activities for the training year of Course 32 of the NDC. He said that it was also intended to have an intellectual body that is in a fit and proper shape for war, especially at strategic and operational levels. “Today’s event brings together the camaraderie and conviviality amongst golfers and those who identify with the College. It will help participants to relieve some of the pressure of the intense academic activity that goes on in the College as they begin to wind down from the tedium of the last one year,” the CDI said.

In his remarks, the Commandant, Rear Admiral Olumuyiwa Olotu, said that the Golf Kitty was one of the activities to mark the Graduation Ceremony of its Course 32. Olotu, who was represented by the College Secretary, AVM Titus Dauda, said that the College was not just about intellectual activities but also places high premium on the physical fitness of participants and staff. According to him, it is also a means of relating with one another, especially now that the participants are about to pass out. He thanked the CDI for taking time out to honour the College and to participate in the Golf tournament.

“We wish you all the best, it is our desire that at the end of this activity you go back to your various destinations safely and more fitted than the way you came,” the Commandant said.
