For a long time, the popular image of security or defence was of a sector that was not only deficient in education but had no time for ideas and was certainly averse to higher learning. Now onwards he said security agencies will employ theoretically sound, evidence-based, data-driven, and innovative approaches to problem-solving.

The President encouraged the graduates to elevate their skills by actively partnering with and seeking input from experts across diverse fields. He further stated that this is how one builds and sustains the capacity to prevail in the face of complex challenges.

The Head of State observed that the government is implementing the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda as a strategy to empower the people to keep them away from illegal practices that may lead to instability. He concluded that the government is aware that extreme poverty and stark inequality create fertile grounds for the recruitment of embittered and frustrated young people into various forms of lawlessness.
