"The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) had recommended the CMD as the sole trainer of trainers recognised by the constitution of the country," he said.

The Director-General advised Nigerians to explore alternative avenues to participate in other programs being carried out by the centre, saying the BASIC MANDEV program was just the starting point.

He also promised to continue to partner with the participants through the agecies wide range of facilities located across the country, to advance and regulate the activities of trainings across Nigeria.
