Following an independent Television station's documentary on the parlous state of the Police College, Ikeja, Lagos, and the public outcry that greeted the revelation, President Goodluck Jonathan has directed Nigerian Army Engineers to renovate structures within the premier Police institution.
It would be recalled that the documentary led to an unscheduled visit by thePresident to the Police College who decried the state of facilities and living conditions of students of the college.
According to reports, the Presidency had released about N700million directly to the Army Engineers who have since mobilized to site.
Sources at the Army Headquarters, however, said the amount of money released "cannot be said to be the final cost of repairs as the work is being done."
