"Actually, we have programmes on security which are degree programmes; at the moment, we are working through a process of establishing some courses at the Postgraduate level.

"This initiative is solely aimed at taking over issues of security challenges in the country; having said this, however, I wish to state that the process is not yet finalized but they are in the works," Bello said.

He gave the assurance that by the next academic session; the courses would take off in full.
