Technical Concern Forced C-130 Crew To Make 'Precautionary Landing' In Burkina Faso:Nigerian Air

The National Economic Council (NEC) has approved N100 billion—subject to final ratification by President Bola Tinubu—for the rehabilitation of training institutions belonging to the police and other security agencies.

This follows recommendations from an ad hoc committee earlier constituted to assess the state of such institutions nationwide.

NEC, chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima, includes the 36 state governors, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, the Minister of Economic Planning, and other key officials.

During its 154th virtual meeting on Wednesday, the council also approved N2.6 billion for consultancy services for the project.

President Tinubu had, during the 152nd NEC meeting in October, proposed a comprehensive overhaul of training facilities for security agencies nationwide.

Presenting the committee’s report, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State highlighted the dire condition of most training institutions and stressed the urgency of intervention.
