UK & UN, PROVIDE EXPLOSIVE RISK EDUCATION TRAINING TO POLICE, CIVIL DEFENCE                                                                                                                                        21-10-24

By Sadiq Aminu                                                             The United Kingdom government, in partnership with the United Nations Mine Action Service, has completed training for 75 officers from the Nigerian Police Force and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps in Maiduguri, Borno State.

A statement by the British High Commission in Abuja explains that the training focused on Explosive Ordnance Risk Education, aiming to empower these officers to teach local communities about the dangers of unexploded ordnance.

It says the training is part of efforts to help communities in conflict-affected areas reduce the risks posed by explosive devices, by learning how to identify and avoid dangerous remnants of war, residents can better protect themselves and their families.

Speaking at the event, the Human Security Adviser at the British High Commission, John Sanderson, noted that police and civil defence officers would now be able to raise awareness in high-risk areas, helping to save lives and improve security.

The Chief of the United Nations Mine Action Programme in Nigeria, Edwin Faigmane, highlighted that partnering with local security forces allows for the delivery of life-saving messages in remote areas, ensuring sustained safety measures within communities.

The Nigerian Police Force and Civil Defence leaders also expressed their gratitude for the training, which will enhance their ability to protect both community members and their personnel from the dangers posed by explosive ordnance.
