Nigeria’s Colonel Charles Nengite broke a 38-year record and became the best performing foreigner in the U.S Army War College.

He went home with not just his M.Sc degree in Strategic Studies, but 6 other awards for outstanding performance in different courses.

The College authorities also recognised Col. Nengite’s efforts towards elimination of sexual harassment in the workplace when he wrote a seminar paper titled “I am your friend”.

He also won the US Army War College Commandant’s Award for Distinction in Research for a paper he wrote on how to combat Boko Haram.

Beating 380 other students to the top position, his performance was described by the College Commandant, Maj.-Gen. William Rapp, as one of the best in the international fellows programmes at the USAWC.

Congratulations to Colonel Charles Nengite and we hope this achievement is recognised by the Nigerian Armed Forces!
