The decision was taken during the 154th meeting of the NEC held virtually on Wednesday.
This followed recommendations by the ad hoc committee earlier constituted to assess the state of police and security agencies’ training institutions nationwide.
The NEC, chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima include the 36 state Governors, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, the Minister of Economic Planning and other key ministries.
The meeting also approved N2.6 billion as consultancy fee for the project.
President Tinubu had at the 152nd meeting of NEC in October, proposed the overhaul and revamping of training institutions for security agencies nationwide.
Chairman of the ad hoc committee, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, had in his presentation to Council, underscored the urgency and significance of the project, saying most of the training institutions are in dilapidated condition.
Following the presentation by the Governor, the Chairman of NEC, Vice President Kashim Shettima, reaffirmed the commitment of the government to address the situation.
VP Shettima also charged governors of the 36 states of the federation to ensure that their economic reforms translate into clear measurable improvements in the lives of Nigerians. He said that governance is meaningful only when citizens can feel its impact.
The Vice President therefore urged all tiers of government to focus on execution of beneficial policies and programmes rather than rhetoric.
He said the era of policy without results must give way to governance defined by tangible outcomes in communities across the country.
“Our task is not to admire problems, but to solve them. Not to explain challenges, but to overcome them. And not to hope for progress, but to engineer it.
“Today’s agenda speaks to our shared responsibility to build a nation where reforms translate into results, and where policies are not mere promises but convincing instruments of change felt in the markets, schools, clinics and farms across our federation,” the VP said.
