The groundbreaking ceremony for various projects at the National Fire Academy is set to take place on May 28, with President Bola Tinubu officiating as part of the one-year anniversary celebrations of the current administration.
Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced this after inspecting ongoing projects at the academy, which serves as the training arm of the Federal Fire Service (FFS).
The new projects aim to transform the academy into a world-class facility, reducing the need for foreign training and offering training to personnel from other countries.
