Nigeria’s journey toward becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy is gaining momentum — but as leaders agree, economic dreams can’t thrive where insecurity persists.
At the heart of this national drive is the National Economic Council (NEC), which recently unveiled plans to revamp all security training institutions across the country. This move aims to strengthen the nation’s capacity to protect investments and restore investor confidence.
Hosting his fellow governors at the Enugu Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, Governor of Enugu State, emphasized that no economic policy, however sound, can succeed in an insecure environment.
“President Bola Tinubu’s one-trillion-dollar economy vision will remain a dream unless we tackle security challenges with renewed seriousness,” Mbah said. “We must not expose those enforcing law and order to disorganized systems.”
To ensure swift action, the committee formed under the NEC has been split into two sub-teams, set to tour both northern and southern regions for on-the-spot assessments of training institutions. Their findings will form the backbone of a comprehensive reform strategy.
Among the governors leading this national task is Engineer Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, who joined other committee members in the inaugural session hosted by Governor Mbah.
With reforms in motion and renewed commitment at the highest levels, the message is clear: security is not just about safety — it’s the foundation of Nigeria’s economic prosperity. Follow www.krestnews.com for more reports.
