…praises the committee led by Mbah for its speed and thoroughness
The Commandant of the Police Detective College, Enugu, Commissioner of Police (CP), Rosemary Collins, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for setting up the committee for the renewal of police and Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) training institutions across the country.
CP Collins described the initiative, chaired by the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, as a morale booster for the men and women in uniform, as well as a demonstration of President Tinubu’s genuine concern for the welfare of security personnel.
She stated this during on-site assessments of the NSCDC training center in Oji River Local Government Area and the Nigerian Police Detective College in Enugu by the Mbah-led committee on Sunday.
“This initiative has rekindled our hope and strengthened our resolve to serve the nation with renewed passion and dedication. We thank the President for remembering the security agencies and prioritizing our welfare and training. We assure the nation that we will continue to give our best and will not disappoint,” the Commander added.
Meanwhile, Governor Mbah explained that President Tinubu’s decision to renovate and modernize the security training facilities was born out of the President’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s security architecture and providing officers with better training and conditions of service.
“So, as you may already know, this is an ongoing fact-finding mission – a national mission personally instituted by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Bola Tinubu, who inaugurated the Ad Hoc Committee at the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting on October 23.
“The Committee is designed to oversee the review of all training institutions for both the Nigerian Police Force and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps. We are divided into two teams, one for the North and one for the South. I lead the Southern team and we have visited several training centres, including the NSCDC facility here at Oji River,” he added.
Governor Mbah denounced the deplorable state of some of the facilities, describing them as unfit to train men and women responsible for protecting lives and property. He said the president found the situation unacceptable and ordered urgent intervention to renew, re-equip and restructure institutions to meet global standards.
