President Tinubu declares state of emergency on Nigeria’s security training institutions

President Bola Tinubu has declared a state of emergency over the nation’s security training facilities, citing their outdated conditions as a threat to the effectiveness of Nigeria’s internal security agencies. The announcement specifically addresses the training institutions of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and other security agencies.

President Bola Tinubu has declared a state of emergency over the nation’s security training facilities, citing their outdated conditions as a threat to the effectiveness of Nigeria’s internal security agencies.

The announcement specifically addresses the training institutions of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and other security agencies.

The development was confirmed by Enugu Governor Peter Mbah, who heads the National Economic Council (NEC) ad-hoc committee tasked with revamping security training institutions. Governor Mbah made the disclosure during an on-site inspection of the facilities in Lagos.

Addressing newsmen, Mbah said, “What we’ve observed today is consistent with what President Tinubu recognized when he visited the council chamber on October 23 and personally approved the inauguration of this ad hoc committee tasked with overhauling all training institutions of the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps.

“The President recognized the urgent need for bold action to restore the pride, professionalism, and confidence of our men and women in the security sector. That is precisely what we are here to validate. This committee has a mandate to report back within 30 days.

“As you know, we divided ourselves into two teams. One team, led by His Excellency Abdullahi Sule, Governor of Nassarawa State, is visiting all the training institutions in the North, while we are currently visiting the institutions in the South. We also have consultants with us, who will conduct a deep assessment of what needs to be rebuilt, re-equipped, and sustained in these training institutions.

“The President indeed sees this as an emergency. What we aim to achieve is the creation of an intervention fund for the rebuilding, renovation, and re-equipping of these institutions. As you know, the President has approved the recruitment of 30,000 police officers, which cannot be effectively implemented without adequate training facilities. This is why we are treating it with the seriousness it deserves.

“This particular facility, for example, was built around 1948. As we consider redevelopment, are we also looking at digital transformation for police training? Absolutely. We cannot rely on 20th-century systems to train a 21st-century police force. Our personnel need to acquire evolving digital skills in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, mechatronics, and other technologies essential for modern policing.

“Our approach is a comprehensive revamp. As the President has emphasized, you cannot expect men and women responsible for protecting our communities and upholding law and order to be trained in inhumane conditions. That is simply unacceptable, and this initiative is aimed at addressing that.

“Lastly, for emphasis, I want to clarify that this action is not reactionary. Some viewers may think this is a response to the recent comments by former President Trump, but that is not the case. This directive was issued on October 20, before any external events. This is a forward-thinking, proactive initiative by a President who recognizes that our training institutions have suffered decades of neglect.

“Our goal is to rebuild these institutions, equip them with modern facilities, and provide world-class environments for our police officers and civil defence personnel. What you are witnessing is a nationwide effort to ensure that all training institutions are brought up to modern standards and aligned with 21st-century realities.

Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, alongside the committee’s secretary, former Inspector General of Police Alkali Usman Baba, and Assistant Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu, who oversees the Special Protection Unit (SPU), stated that the committee has 30 days to submit a comprehensive report to the NEC, which will guide the next phase of reforms.

“Don’t be distracted’ – FCT residents commend Wike for infrastructure projects

Residents of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, have commended the minister, Nyesom Wike, for infrastructure projects executed by his administration.

The residents, under the aegis of Cabul Network, expressed appreciation for the ongoing developmental projects in the capital city in a statement signed by Chijioke Nwachukwu, Director General, and Matthew Eguche, Secretary.

They noted that it was the first time in the history of the FCT that projects of such magnitude were executed in a short period.

Parts of the statement read, “We, the members of the Cabul Network, comprising citizens residing across the various area councils and districts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), write to express our profound appreciation and heartfelt support for your remarkable leadership and the significant strides you have made in the development of the FCT.

“It is with great joy that we, the residents of FCT, state that never before have we experienced such a marked improvement in the quality of infrastructure and developmental initiatives in the Territory. Under your stewardship, we have witnessed remarkable growth and progress across numerous sectors.

“Where do we even begin to acknowledge the transformation? Is it in the expansion of road infrastructure, the construction of area council roads to ease housing challenges in the FCT, or the development of railway stations? All these and more continue to empower and uplift the residents.

“We unequivocally affirm that every area of infrastructure is receiving due attention simultaneously, and this holistic approach is a clear testimony of your dedication and effective leadership.”

The residents urged the minister to sustain the tempo, while urging him to ignore distractions as he goes about his assignment.

“We also take this opportunity to convey our sincere support and appeal that the incredible work you have started continues to be sustained and built upon. We strongly condemn the voices of dissent and naysayers, and urge you not to be distracted by them.

“We are confident that with the unwavering support of Mr. President, the Federal Capital Territory, under your leadership, will continue to reach new heights of development.

“As we pledge our full support and loyalty to your administration, we would like to emphasize that our network is primarily composed of individuals who served as youth corps members in the FCT between 1998 and 2000, and we are proud to stand with you in this journey of progress.

“Once again, we commend your efforts, and we remain hopeful for the continued advancement of the Federal Capital Territory,” they added.

Trump’s threat: Tinubu foreign policy managers lazy – APC chieftain

A former All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has faulted the handling of Nigeria’s foreign policy under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Trump’s threat: Tinubu foreign policy managers lazy – APC chieftain

A former All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has faulted the handling of Nigeria’s foreign policy under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Garba said managers of Tinubu’s foreign policy have exposed Nigeria to even more problems.

He made the remark in reaction to China warning the United States against interfering in Nigeria’s affairs.

China had issued the warning following threats by US President, Donald Trump to order military action over reported Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Garba in a post on X wrote: “China backed Nigeria and warned U.S against internal interference. Some are celebrating this based on myopic mindset.

“So did China backed Afghanistan, China Backed Iraq, China backed Gaddafi, China backed Assad. does that stop U.S from projecting its national interest in those countries?

“Most recently, China backed Gaza, does that stop anything? In fact, the most important Chinese BRI ally in the World is Islamic Republic of Iran, China vehemently backed Iran, but that doesn’t stop the U.S from bombing the Iranian Nuclear facility, right within Iran.

“The truth it, when it comes to international issues, no country can back you against any other superpower beyond strongly worded press conferences, except of course when there are strategic interests threatening the national security of the supporting power.

“In fact, in Nigeria, most Chinese companies have been packed up due to lack of payment from the jobs they have executed for the government. The chinese government is fully aware of the situation.

“Therefore, believe such press statements as anything beyond paper rhetoric at your own peril.

“Nigeria’s foreign policy management of the Tinubu administration is the most laziest it has ever been in the country, exposing us to even more problems.

“Nigeria needs to work its way to clean its name. This is very important.

“As it stands, there is no country, not even our neigbors like Niger, Cameroun, Benin that can come for us in the event of any situation. In fact, Chad even closed their borders against us.

“We have to work our way out of the mess we created ourselves. Propaganda only ends on the screens of social media users.”

You have been exposed, stop deceiving Nigerians – MASSOB hits Primate Ayodele

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has accused the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, of allegedly deceiving Nigerians under the guise of divine revelation.

You have been exposed, stop deceiving Nigerians – MASSOB hits Primate Ayodele

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has accused the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, of allegedly deceiving Nigerians under the guise of divine revelation.

In a statement issued by its National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, the group said Primate Ayodele’s alleged “anti-Igbo and tribalized posture” has been exposed.

MASSOB claimed the cleric’s criticisms of Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party and his support for President Bola Tinubu were part of a sponsored campaign to discredit the former Anambra governor.

The statement accused Ayodele of ignoring the “hardship and insecurity” in the country while defending the Tinubu administration. It said:

“In your support bid for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you have turned blind eyes to the huge evils his administration has caused Nigerians, including your kinsmen. You have also ignored the ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria.”

MASSOB expressed support for former US President Donald Trump’s recent stance against the Nigerian government, saying his intervention aims to expose “foreign and local-backed Fulani jihadists” responsible for attacks on Christians.

The group rejected Ayodele’s claim that Trump’s position was part of a plot to destabilize the Tinubu administration, insisting that the president was responsible for his government’s instability.

“Tinubu is the one destabilizing his administration by appointing his kinsmen to occupy almost all strategic positions and running the government like a family business,” MASSOB stated.

The pro-Biafra group further alleged that Tinubu’s presidency lacks legitimacy, claiming he “connived with INEC and the judiciary to steal the presidential mandate.”

MASSOB also dismissed Ayodele’s call for Tinubu to seek God’s face, saying such advice was “deceitful,” as, according to the group, “God did not install him as Nigeria’s president.”

It said Tinubu should instead seek forgiveness from former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu and former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
