The Gombe State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, said it has trained 55 private guards personnel from nine different companies in the state.
The private security companies include A. Kolo Security Guard LTD, Ampu Security Guard LTD, and Silver Guard Security LTD.
Others are Jewel Security Guard LTD, Hardawa Security Guard Ltd, Pana Global Security LTD, Arksego Security LTD, Kombat Security LTD, and Kings Guard Security LTD.
Speaking on Monday, the State Commandant, Gyama Gyawiya, charged the trainees on the importance of professionalism in the private security sector, saying, “We urge you to conduct yourselves professionally, maintain high discipline and ethics, and respect human rights. Your actions reflect not only on yourselves but also on the industry.”
According to him, the training is part of the NSCDC’s efforts to ensure professionalism and standards in the private security sector, similar to their previous initiatives, such as licensing 30 private guard companies to engage other private individuals in the fight against criminality.
