In an effort to ensure private security guards are adequately
prepared for the job of protecting life and property, the Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has drawn out training curriculum to ensure
professionalism and efficiency in protecting life and property in the country.
The new Commandant General of NSCDC, Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu made
the dislosure when he received a joint team from the University of Abuja and
National Open University in his office for partnership on training programme.
The NSCDC boss said the establishment of College for Security
Management by the corps in Abeokuta and other similar institutes in the
country, management and personnel of private security guards in the country
would be mandated to undergo regular capacity building and training programmes
on modern trends in crime prevention and security protection in private and
public institutions.
He observed that: "Criminals are not only posing threat
through physical engagements but have devise other strategies through online
and social media for their nefarious activities. The only way to contain and
curtail them is through training and retraining of our staffs as well as
private security guards on the new methods and technique to address the
threats."
He further stressed that the Corps other institutions in Abuja,
Katsina and Bayelsa states would continue partnering with other institutions in
providing training for public officers and potential students on various fields
of security consciousness and disaster management using the latest techniques
and technology.
However, the leader of the delegation Dr. Amuche Madu explained
that the purpose of the visit was to present a proposal on Professional
Development Programme on Law Enforcement and Security Governance as part of its
agenda to ensure that agencies of government are knowledge based
institutions.
While emphasizing that training improves on morals and credentials
of participants, Dr. Madu said it would also curtail excessive expenditure for
foreign training by officers when the same services are affordable in the
country.
