The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Capital Territory Command, has graduated 260 private security operatives from 40 companies following a five-day refresher training programme in Abuja.

The training, which focused on modern security management, was held from August 10 to 14 at the newly inaugurated FCT Command Training Ground.

Speaking at the passing-out parade on Friday, FCT Commandant, Dr Olusola Odumosu, said the programme was designed to equip private security personnel with skills needed to operate effectively in an increasingly complex and technology-driven security environment.

“Today, private security operatives must be able to identify threats, observe suspicious behaviour, manage access, communicate effectively, respond to emergencies, protect critical facilities, preserve information and work collaboratively with relevant security agencies,” Odumosu said.
