He commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his financial support and the General Officer Commanding Eighty-two Division, Major-General Emmanuel Kabbuk for training the officers.
In a message, the Enugu State Governor represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Security Matters, retired Brigadier-General Fred Eze commended the trained officers for demonstrating professionalism in weapon handling.

Over one hundred and fifty officers graduated from the training.
