The Federal Government has awarded contracts for the rehabilitation of 13 police training institutions across the country, with the projects expected to be completed within three weeks to pave the way for the commencement of training programmes by the Nigeria Police Force.

The development was disclosed on Thursday in Abuja at the 160th meeting of the National Economic Council, chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

The rehabilitation programme is aimed at restoring the training institutions to appropriate standards and creating better facilities for the training and development of police personnel.

The move comes as the Federal Government continues efforts to strengthen security institutions and improve the capacity of personnel responsible for maintaining law and order across the country.

At the NEC meeting, the council also endorsed the Revised National Social Protection Policy 2026–2030 and called on state governments to align their social protection policies, laws, budgets and implementation plans with the new national framework.

The revised policy is designed to strengthen the coordination, financing, implementation, monitoring and accountability of social protection programmes across the federation.

It also proposes the establishment of a National Social Protection Council to provide overall oversight for the coordination and implementation of social protection programmes.

Under the proposed arrangement, the council will be chaired by Vice President Shettima, with the Ministers of Budget and Economic Planning, Labour and Employment, and Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction serving as vice chairs.

The Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning will serve as the council’s secretariat, while six governors representing the six geopolitical zones will serve as members.

Speaking at the meeting, Shettima urged the National Economic Council to sustain ongoing economic reforms until improvements in the economy translate into more jobs, stronger purchasing power, increased business confidence and better living conditions for Nigerians.

The Vice President said government policies must go beyond announcements and produce measurable outcomes capable of improving the lives of citizens.

“There is no doubt that a serious government is measured by the matters it refuses to abandon,” Shettima said, stressing the importance of continuity in public policy.

He noted that revenue, debt, production, investment and the cost of living ultimately affect households, making it necessary for improvements in the broader economy to reach ordinary Nigerians.

Shettima said macroeconomic progress must translate into employment, increased purchasing power, stronger businesses and more vibrant economies at the state level.

He also cautioned against abandoning existing programmes and commitments in pursuit of new priorities.

According to him, continuity is a form of accountability, as previous government promises and responsibilities must remain relevant even when new priorities emerge.

The Vice President said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had placed on NEC the responsibility of making cooperation among the federal and state governments productive and ensuring that policies are converted into outcomes that Nigerians can see and feel.

He further stressed that public confidence would depend on government’s ability to follow through on its commitments.

The twin developments, rehabilitation of police training institutions and endorsement of the revised social protection policy, formed part of decisions and discussions at the NEC meeting as the government seeks to strengthen both national security capacity and social protection while ensuring that economic reforms deliver tangible benefits to citizens.

The meeting was attended by members of the National Economic Council and other relevant government officials.
