The National Economic Council (NEC) has appointed the Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, as chairman of a new committee tasked with reforming training institutions for Nigeria’s security agencies.
The decision was reached during the Council’s 152nd meeting held on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where members endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s plan for a complete overhaul of the nation’s security training facilities.
To deliver the initiative, the NEC unanimously selected Mbah to head the committee. Governors Uba Sani (Kaduna), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Kefas Agbu (Taraba), Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom), Dauda Lawal (Zamfara) and Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa) were named as members, while former Inspector-General of Police, Baba Usman, will serve as secretary.
President Tinubu, who addressed the Council, underscored the urgency of the reforms, saying: “We have to make the conditions of the training facilities more conducive for both the trainers and trainees.”
The committee has been given one month to present a detailed blueprint for the renovation and modernisation of all training institutions under the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies.
The move forms part of the President’s broader commitment to transforming the country’s security architecture.
