✅The governance structure of the National Defence University - #Rwanda, a new institution expected to shape the country’s strategic leadership and security expertise, has been established with the President of the Republic as Chancellor.
✅Established under a 2026 law published in the Official Gazette of April 10, the new university brings together key military and security colleges and training institutions into a single, autonomous higher learning institution headquartered in Kigali.
✅The National Defence University, which has yet to be operational, is mandated to educate military officers, security personnel, senior government officials, and international partners.
✅At the helm of the university’s leadership is the Chancellor, a role assigned by law to the President of the Republic, who is also the Commander-in-Chief of Rwanda Defence Force (RDF), according to the new legislation.
✅The Board of Governors is the university’s key decision-making and oversight organ, bringing together a mix of external experts and internal representatives. It is composed of 13 members, who have yet to be named.
✅The governance structure of the defence university anchored by the President as Chancellor and a diverse Board of Governors underscores its national significance and direct link to Rwanda’s highest level of leadership in defence and security matters. https://t.co/qerRWqIE3B
We are the generation that inherited what that grief built. Which means our goal is not to arrive, we are already here. Our duty is to make sure the question of arriving too late is never asked again. In memory. In truth-telling. In refusing to let hate and genocide ideology spread unchallenged in our region. In showing up, not only in remembrance, but in action. By doing, not just by being. That duty is the honour of our lives. 🤍
