In a landmark move to deepen inclusivity and enhance operational intelligence, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, has completed a five-day fundamental training on sign language proficiency for its personnel.

The FCT Commandant of the NSCDC, Dr. Olusola Odumosu, described the move as a pioneering initiative to bridge the communication gap between law enforcement and the People With Disabilities community.

Odumosu, at the closing ceremony held on Monday in Abuja, explained that the training was a bold and visionary step toward modern, inclusive, and citizen-centred policing.

“It is not merely a training exercise, he declared, but a strategic investment in the future of intelligence gathering, criminal investigation, and delivering on the NSCDC’s core mandates.”

The Commandant underscored the programme‘s significance, which was facilitated in partnership with Data Lead Africa Foundation. It noted that it breaks a long-standing barrier by empowering officers with the tools to engage effectively with the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

He said, “This initiative ensures that no voice goes unheard, whether spoken or signed. We are equipping our personnel with the ability to communicate inclusively and pass information discreetly, thereby improving intelligence gathering and maintaining operational security,” he stated.

Dr. Odumosu commended the participating officers for their commitment, lauding them as “ambassadors of inclusivity and agents of a more compassionate, responsive NSCDC.” He also revealed that members of the Deaf in Tech community would soon be embedded in designated units of the Command to support continued learning and practical sign language use within the corps.

The Commandant further expressed gratitude to the Commandant General, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, for creating an enabling environment that supports innovation and excellence within the NSCDC.

“This is the story of a Command that listens, learns, and evolves,” Dr. Odumosu concluded. “The FCT Command is not waiting for the future — we are creating it.”

He added that the command‘s embrace of sign language training reflects a growing recognition of the need for inclusive security systems that serve every segment of society.

The FCT commandant added that the move is expected to build public trust and improve access to justice and intelligence gathering from often overlooked communities.
