NSCDC INSPECTS LAND FOR PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, TRAINING CENTRE
The Chairman of Umuahia South Local Government Area, Mr Chinedum Enwereuzo, has led a team of officials from the national headquarters of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to inspect the proposed site for an international secondary school and tactical training centre at Nsirimo, Umuahia, Abia State.
The inspection was also attended by the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Elder Goodluck Ubochi, who joined the delegation to assess the land set aside for the proposed projects.
While taking the officials round the site, Enwereuzo explained that the land covers about 26 hectares and is large enough to accommodate several important projects. He called on the NSCDC delegation to make good use of the opportunity provided by the Abia State Government and take the necessary steps towards establishing the proposed facilities.
Speaking after inspecting the land, the Deputy Commandant-General of the NSCDC, Lucy Samu, expressed satisfaction with the location. She described the land as suitable for the proposed projects, noting that its size could accommodate more than three universities.
Samu appreciated Governor Alex Otti and the people of Abia State for their support and willingness to partner with the NSCDC in bringing the projects to the state. She said the gesture showed the state government’s commitment to creating opportunities for education and security development.
The Deputy Commandant-General further disclosed that the NSCDC was prepared to begin work on the projects next year. She expressed hope that the construction would start as planned and that the facilities would become a reality.
When completed, the proposed international secondary school is expected to provide more educational opportunities, while the tactical training centre will help improve the training and preparation of security personnel.
The projects are also expected to bring more development to Nsirimo, Umuahia South and Abia State in general.
