ABUJA: The Federal Government has directed the upgrade of the Tactical Training Ground and Obstacle Course of the Federal Capital Territory FCT Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC, to enhance the training, development and operational readiness of the Corps.
Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo disclosed this at the commissioning of the facility on Thursday in Abuja.
Represented by the Commandant General of the NSCDC, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, the minister described it as more than a physical structure. “This occasion represents far more than the unveiling of a physical structure. This is a celebration of vision, commitment and strategic investment in the future of the Corps,” he said.
Announcing the Minister’s directive, Audi said the facility would be upgraded to a higher standard. “The minister has directed me to begin the process of upgrade of this training centre. This training ground will be upgraded to a standard level where, because as it is now, you can only find something like this in our training schools. I think it’s only one or two commands that have a semblance of this,” he said.
