The Nigeria Police Force has concluded the final phase of its Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (C-WMD) Curriculum Development Workshop, aimed at strengthening the Force’s capacity to tackle chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive threats.

The workshop was organised in partnership with the United States Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), marking a significant step in enhancing the Force’s preparedness to respond to emerging security threats.

Held at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, the workshop marked a significant milestone in the Force’s efforts to institutionalise specialised training for officers of its Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (EOD-CBRN) Command.
