Peran said that the workshop involved pre-testing of the recently enhanced curricular on optimisation and harmonisation for administrators and training institutions and colleges in Nigeria.

She said that the NSCDC was the first to test the manuals, which were developed over the years.

“The manuals differ from agencies to agencies but the area of focus in this curriculum is a common ground for all agencies.

“In your state commands guide colleagues on this curriculum’s five subject matters that you will be taught as this is why you are participants of this training,” she said.

According to her, the training displays the willingness of the Corps to promote inter-agency cooperation and general improvement of security in the country.
