A cross section of graduands<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre
\n(KAIPTC) has held its eighth graduation ceremony<\/p>\n

for students in the 2019 class of the Master of Arts in
\nConflict, Peace and Security, Master of Arts in Gender, Peace and Security,
\nExecutive Master of Arts in Conflict, Peace and Security, and the Weekend
\nMaster of Arts in Conflict, Peace and Security.<\/p>\n

On the occasion, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation
\n(GNPC) pledged support and partnership with the KAIPTC.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer of the GNPC, Dr. K.K. Sarpong,
\nspeaking at the ceremony, said \u201ccollaborations with institutions of higher
\nlearning such as the KAIPTC is essential to addressing the envisaged threats in
\nonshore oil operations\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said his outfit will also among other initiatives \u201cinvite
\nstudents from KAIPTC to access GNPC scholarships for post graduate studies\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the GNPC CEO, Africa is grappling with
\ndiversity of security challenges, ranging from political instability to
\neconomic stagnation, ecological degradation to gross and fundamental human
\nrights violations.<\/p>\n

Dr.Sarpong maintains \u201cthe relevance of programmes of KAIPTC
\nto our emerging oil and gas industry and indeed our country is very apparent\u201d.<\/p>\n

He proposed that the KAIPTC considers the inclusion of
\nCorporate Conflict and Insecurity in its program offerings considering the fact
\nthat conflicts in corporate space appears to be on the ascendancy in Ghana and
\nother countries in Africa.<\/p>\n

Commandant of the KAIPTC, Major General Francis Ofori in his
\naddress to the overly elated graduates, and relatives emphasized \u201cit is
\nimperative to remember that your degree, like others, can be described as a
\npaper qualification.<\/p>\n

The real value lies in how you apply the knowledge and
\ntraining you have received to address complex societal problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Commandant added \u201cat all levels of the organisation, we
\nare moving out to engage with our stakeholders to determine their needs and to
\nwork with them to develop and deliver products and services that meet those needs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Minister in charge if Tertiary Education, Professor
\nKwesiYankah, reiterated the need for Civil Society to spearhead efforts in
\nensuring the sustenance of peace and security.<\/p>\n

Professor Yankah said noted that civilians are often the
\ngreatest victims in the periods of strife and crises. \u201cFor as has been
\ndemonstrated time and again in Africa here, and in parts of the world, it is
\noften not the winning of war,that is important.<\/p>\n

The main challenge has been how to win peace\u201d. The minister
\nadmonished graduating students to take up critical roles to ensure a peaceful
\nand secured society.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a masters\u2019 degree, you are now a master unto yourself,
\nlicensed to enlist and train other apprentices, training apprentices to
\nmaturity and independence\u201d. <\/p>\n

In all, a total of 120 students graduated from the Kofi
\nAnnan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), in the joint
\ngraduation ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
