The National Economic Council (NEC) has approved N100 billion for the rehabilitation of training institutions belonging to the police and other security agencies across the country, pending final ratification by President Bola Tinubu.
The decision was taken at the Council’s 154th meeting held virtually on Wednesday.
The approval followed recommendations from an ad hoc committee chaired by Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, which had been tasked with assessing the condition of security training facilities nationwide.
Mbah told the Council that many of the institutions were in deplorable condition and required urgent intervention.
NEC also approved N2.6 billion for consultancy services relating to the rehabilitation project.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima, who chaired the meeting, reaffirmed the administration’s resolve to strengthen the nation’s security architecture and urged governors to ensure that their economic reforms translate into tangible improvements for citizens.
“Our task is not to admire problems, but to solve them. Not to explain challenges, but to overcome them,” Shettima said, stressing that governance must deliver noticeable results in communities across Nigeria.
