The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Professor Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has intensified efforts to strengthen the operational readiness of the Corps through a specialised capacity-building programme for its Female Strike Force.
The two-day workshop held in Abuja is designed to sharpen the Force’s operational deliverables, research capabilities and intelligence-driven approach to security.
Flagging off the training, Professor Audi said women are critical actors in modern security, particularly in intelligence gathering, conflict prevention, peacebuilding and tactical operations.
He reaffirmed management’s commitment to providing the Female Strike Force with institutional support and professional development to maximise its potential.
According to the NSCDC boss, the programme goes beyond capacity building. It is an investment in operational effectiveness, equipping personnel with critical thinking, evidence-based research and strategic intelligence skills required to make informed decisions and deliver measurable results.
The initiative also reinforces the Corps’ commitment to protecting Critical National Assets and Infrastructure, while promoting a security architecture where tactical capability is strengthened by intelligence, innovation and professional competence.
Professor Audi said the reform drive under his leadership demonstrates that effective security is built not only on strength, but on training, intelligence, professionalism and preparedness.
The NSCDC said the training aligns with the Federal Government’s mandate to build a highly trained, professional and agile workforce for national security.
