Security personnel in Kaduna State have been urged to strengthen their capacity and adopt effective strategies in tackling community unrest and other security challenges.
The Team Lead of the training programme, Mr. Bember Terseer, made the call during a capacity-building training organized for members of the Kaduna State Vigilance Service KADVS in Kaduna.
Mr. Terseer explained that the training would provide participants with greater awareness and knowledge, equipping them with more tactics to address community conflicts and insecurity.
According to him, focusing on critical areas highlighted during the training would significantly contribute to reducing insecurity across the state.
Also speaking, the Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Sule Shuaibu, appreciated the collaborative efforts aimed at strengthening the state’s security architecture.
He urged residents to cooperate with the state government by remaining vigilant and promptly reporting any suspicious activities within their communities.
In his remarks, the Kaduna State Vigilance Service Commander, Ali Audu Ta Bige, commended the initiative and the training programme.
He noted that the exercise would enhance operational capacity of security personnel and enable them to effectively carry out their primary responsibilities.
The training brought together about 300 KADVS personnel from different units and departments.
It is part of the Improving Community Security Initiatives for Accountable Service Delivery Project, supported by the Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria Programme, an initiative of the United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
