Today, at 5pm, KSJI Hall Area 3, the Abuja Grand Commandery of the Knights of St. John International witnessed another significant milestone in the development and formation of young leaders, as the Grand President, Brig. Gen. Francis Njoku formally installed the newly elected officers of the Abuja Grand Cadet Commandery.

The installation ceremony was a demonstration of the commitment of the Knights of St. John International to nurturing young people in the virtues of faith, discipline, leadership, service, responsibility, and brotherhood. The historic occasion was witnessed by distinguished members of the Order, including the 1st Grand President, Col. Ejike Nweze; 2nd Grand President, Col. Benedict Ukam; Grand Secretary, Col. A.K. Peters; Grand Cadets Organiser, Lt. Col. Augustine Ijere, as well as numerous brothers and supporters of the Cadet apostolate.

The presence of these distinguished leaders added significance to the occasion and provided the newly installed Cadet officers with a strong reminder that leadership is not merely a position or title, but a responsibility to serve others and uphold the values of the Order.
