  "summary": "The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Abuja has successfully completed a five-day refresher training programme for 260 private security officers from 40 companies. The training, held at the newly inaugurated FCT Command Training Ground, focused on modern security management and aimed to equip private security personnel with skills needed to operate effectively in an increasingly complex and technology-driven security environment. NSCDC's FCT Commandant, Dr Olusola Odumosu, emphasized the importance of private security operatives as strategic partners and the first line of early warning in various environments. He urged the graduates to remain vigilant and stressed the need for stronger public-private security partnerships to protect critical infrastructure.",
