The training, themed \u201cEnsuring Safer Schools for All,\u201d aimed to strengthen the capacity of NSSRCC personnel in achieving the government\u2019s Safe Schools Declaration targets.<\/p>\n<p>Represented by Deputy Commandant General (DCG) of Technical Services, Zakari Ningi, Audi highlighted the corps\u2019 dedication to school safety, referencing a 2021 vulnerability assessment that underscored the need for continued intervention. He urged participants to leverage expert insights and strengthen collaborations for more effective security measures.<\/p>\n<p>He also acknowledged key stakeholders, including the Ministries of Interior, Finance, and Education, as well as civil society organizations like Save the Children International, for their unwavering support in advancing the centre\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<p>NSSRCC Commander Rabiu Muhammed, in his remarks, emphasized the evolving nature of security threats, including cybercrime, drug abuse, and cultism. He stressed the importance of equipping personnel with cutting-edge security innovations and technology to address these challenges effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Muhammed revealed that experts were carefully selected to provide valuable insights during the training, adding that similar sessions would be held in other geopolitical zones before the mid-year mark.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, National Coordinator of Financing Safe Schools, Hajiya Halima Ibrahim, commended the efforts of the Commandant General and other stakeholders. She acknowledged the financial and budgetary constraints faced by the centre, which was established in 2023, but praised their commitment to the cause.<\/p>\n<p>Ibrahim encouraged participants to actively engage, disseminate the knowledge gained, and implement it at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n<p>According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the 300 participants were drawn from Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, and the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
