The announcement was made by Enugu Governor Peter Mbah, who chairs the National Economic Council, NEC, ad-hoc Committee on the overhaul of security training institutions. Mbah revealed the news during an on-the-spot inspection of the facilities in Lagos.

Governor Mbah, accompanied by Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, former Inspector General of Police Alkali Usman Baba, who also serves as the Committee Secretary, and Assistant Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu of the Special Protection Unit, SPU, said the committee has been given 30 days to submit a comprehensive report to the NEC for further action.

Mbah emphasized that President Tinubu is deeply concerned about the dilapidated state of the training facilities, noting that these institutions are currently tasked with preparing security personnel who are expected to uphold human dignity and protect citizens’ rights.

The President’s directive, issued during the October 23 NEC meeting, underscored the urgent need for modernization. According to Mbah, the current state of the training institutions “does not align with President Tinubu’s vision of growing Nigeria’s economy to one trillion dollars in the next five years.”
