The Governor Peter Mbah-led National Economic Council (NEC), Committee on the Overhaul of Security Training Institutions has commenced work, pledging to deliver a comprehensive report within one month.
Speaking during an inspection of the Police Training College, Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday, Mbah said the committee would address the decay in training facilities to improve professionalism and morale among security personnel.
“It is unacceptable to expect quality officers to emerge from dilapidated environments,” he said, noting that a secure nation was key to President Tinubu’s trillion-dollar economy vision.
Mbah revealed that the committee, which includes seven governors and former IGP Alkali Baba as secretary, has been divided into two subcommittees for efficiency.
Governor Dapo Abiodun said a consulting engineer had been engaged to prepare a detailed report for swift implementation.
Commandant AIG Omolara Oluruntola decried the college’s poor facilities, stressing the need for urgent renovation to produce competent officers.
