The National Economic Council (NEC) has appointed Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, as chairman of a committee tasked with overhauling training institutions for security agencies across the country.

At its 152nd meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Council endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s proposal for a comprehensive reform of security training facilities nationwide.

To drive the initiative, NEC unanimously appointed Mbah to lead the strategic committee, which also includes Governors Uba Sani (Kaduna), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Kefas Agbu (Taraba), Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom), Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), and Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa) as members, with former Inspector-General of Police, Baba Usman, serving as Secretary.

Addressing the Council, Tinubu underscored the urgency of the task, saying: “We have to make the conditions of the training facilities more conducive for both the trainers and trainees.”

The committee has one month to submit a comprehensive blueprint for the renovation and modernisation of training institutions of the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies, in line with the President’s commitment to transforming the nation’s security sector.

Mbah’s appointment, a Presidency source disclosed, places him at the centre of Nigeria’s renewed drive to strengthen its security architecture through improved training, modern facilities, and better working conditions for personnel.
