About MLAILPKC

Our History
What began as Armed forces of Nigeria (AFN) participation in Peace Support Operation (PSO) dates back to 1960 when Nigerian troops were first deployed to restore peace and security in the Republic of Congo. At the time the Centre in September 2004 became a wing under Nigerian Army School of Infantry (NASI), which then became autonomous and named Nigerian Army Peacekeeping Centre on January of 2009. The Centre was renamed Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peacekeeping Centre (MLAILPKC) on 29 Jul 2017.
Our Mission
To deliver realistic training to potential leaders and peacekeepers for the multi-dimensional challenges of contemporary peace support operations.
Our Vision
MLAILPKC seeks to become the principal international Centre for learning and research on all matters related to leadership and tactical/operational level peace support operations, towards enhancing international peace and security.
