The National Economic Council (NEC) has approved President Bola Tinubu’s plan to renovate the training institutions of security agencies in the country.

Kashim Shettima Vice-President chaired the 153rd NEC meeting, which had President Tinubu in attendance at the State House, Abuja, on Thursday.

Governor of Kaduna, Uba Sani, who addressed State House correspondents at the end of the meeting, said the NEC constituted a committee to conduct an on-the-spot assessment of the condition of all security training institutions nationwide.

According to him, governor of Enugu, Peter Mbah, is the chairman of the committee, while Baba Alkali, former inspector-general of police (IGP), will serve as the secretary.

Other members are the Kaduna governor, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara state, Sule Abdullahi of Nasarawa state, Kefas Agbu of Taraba, and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun.

“The national economic council (NEC) approved President Bola Tinubu’s proposal for the composition of the committee to oversee the overhauling and revamping of training institutions for security agencies nationwide,” he outlined.

“Mr President’s proposal followed a very robust presentation by the minister of budget and economy planning, Senator Abubakar Bagudu, on the realisation of President Tinubu’s vision for a one trillion-dollar economy.

“It also highlighted the necessity of investing more in security by the three tiers of government. And of course, Mr President raised serious concerns about the condition generally of all the training institutions of the Nigeria Police across the country.

“We believe if we want to raise the morale of the police nationwide, we have to invest in their training institutions, which are highly dilapidated across the country.”

He said that NEC gave the committee one month to go around and conduct an on-the-spot assessment of the situation and the condition of all the training institutions across the country.

“All the governors again unanimously agree to partner with the federal government in rehabilitating and renovating all the police training institutions in their respective states,” he explained.

He said Tinubu also urged the state governors to pay more attention to issues that affect the well-being of the people, particularly at the grassroots.
