The exercise, which took place on 1st – 3rd June 2025, focused on equipping private security personnel with the essential knowledge and skills required for professional conduct, operational discipline, and strict adherence to security regulations.

Leading the NSCDC team was the Head of Department, Private Guard Companies (HOD PGC) DCC Nasiru Musa , Jigawa State Command, who delivered comprehensive lectures on the “nitty-gritty of private guard operations”, including legal frameworks, code of conduct, surveillance techniques, and civil-military cooperation.
