Pioneer NEC Security Services Graduates Urged To Be Honest To Tap Into Rising Opportunities

Graduate National Enterprise Corporation (NEC) Security Services Limited (NSSL) trainees should be honest to access employment opportunities in the security sector, according to Brig Gen Godfrey Muwanguzi, the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Reserve Forces Central Commander.

Speaking at the pass-out of NEC Security Services Limited trainees at Katuugo Training School in Nakasongola district, the Chief Guest Brig Gen Muwanguzi implored graduates not to extort money from unsuspecting clients.

Graduates, he said, should be contented with their pay and avoid accusing people falsely as they do their guard duties. “Do not extort money and don’t accuse people falsely. Be contented with your pay,” Brig Gen Muwanguzi said.

He added that the historical pass-out is a dream come true as it will complement other security services already existing in the country like the police and auxiliary guards. “You have come to complement others. Use your earlier experience while serving UPDF and stick to integrity of the nation you are going to serve,” he noted.

Brig Gen Muwanguzi further cautioned graduands not to be trigger happy, adding that they are retired but not tired as evidenced during live firing of plates and foot drill demonstrations.

Before the official pass-out pronouncement, Brig Gen Muwanguzi, warned graduands against promiscuity, urging them to keep healthy to get wealth.

Col Moses, the NEC Security Services Limited (NSSL) General Manager, noted the importance of utilizing veterans to protect critical infrastructure.

He said that the first Intake of high-quality graduates will contribute to national security and economic development by offering integrated security services that have a bearing on national security like commerce, telecom and other infrastructure.

To the graduates, he urged them to be good ambassadors and avoid ideological disorientation. “You have received all the training, go out and shine,” he scoffed.

The Commandant of Katuugo Training School Lt Col Gracias Birakwate, congratulated the 98 trainees of who 8 were females, and urged them to remain disciplined and resilient.

He urged them to be responsible security personnel to fight criminality. “What you have learnt and gained should help you perform best in your duties,” he emphasized.

Graduates of Intake 1/2023 acquired skills in marksmanship, field craft, VIP protection, basic fire fighting, physical drills, political education, radio communication and customer care, among others.

The best overall student was Pte Muyingo Richard, the best in academics was WOII Omara Mohamed, the best in the field was Sgt Mutungo James and Pte Namuyonga Madina emerged best in endurance.

These received gifts from the Chief Guest in honour of their exceptional performance.
