NSCDC boss charges commandants on protection of national assets, infrastructure
The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has affirmed the commitment of the agency to its statutory core mandate of protecting critical national assets and infrastructure across the federation.
CSC Afolabi Babawale, National Public Relations Officer NSCDC National Headquarters, Abuja, in a statement said the CG stated this in an address during the
assembly of Principal Management Staff Officers, State Commandants, Provost of Colleges and Heads of Tactical Forces in Abuja.
Audi emphasized that the relevance of the Corps is hinged on unwavering commitment to ensuring the prosecution of its mandate and protection of the civil populace.
He said there is need to re-strategize by evaluating and appraising the performances of field operations officers and their heads, noting that the Corps has benefitted from the Federal Government and the only way to reciprocate the gesture is adherence to the mandate and its effective fulfilment.
“At this first quarterly meeting we need to evaluate and appraise our performances to know where we need to implement new strategies for an improved results
“I urge you to intensify efforts and be focused in the discharge of our statutory roles and responsibility as the Federal Government has dedicated resources to ensuring our optimal performance.
“Apparently, we have been receiving various support from the government therefore it is expected that we reciprocate by putting in active and results oriented efforts.
“The continuous and relentless pursuit of the Core mandates of the NSCDC must be our priority; we must commit ourselves wholly to securing the critical national infrastructure and ensuring the safety of Nigerians,” Audi said.
The CG further noted that the Corps need to frankly embrace the enormous task of securing the nation amidst emerging security threats posed by what he described as asymmetric conflict often characterised by crude oil theft, vandalism, farmers/herders clashes, kidnapping, hostage-taking, insurgency and terrorism.
The NSCDC Boss hinted that intelligence has revealed that there is a nexus between illegal mining activities and banditry.
He said it was gathered that illegal miners often connive with suspected bandits to embark on their nefarious tasks.
“Intelligence has now revealed that most illegal miners collude with bandits and hibernate around us to unleash mayhem and maneuver with our resources,” he said.
The CG however re-assured the government and the public of continuous fight against economic sabotage as all hands would be on deck to ensure the safety and security of citizens across board.
It was a night of deserving honour to the Zigima that has shone for decades.
A night of entertainment, joy, excitement and laughter.
Thank you Governor Alex Otti for your intentional dedication to creating a new atmosphere of unity, peace and security, backed by visible transformation in all facets of governance.
Thank you for ensuring that Abia didn’t just rise from the ashes, but that it commenced a progressive journey to greatness in all spheres.

Lady cries out after her brother was knocked down by keke on his way to early morning test at UniAbuja, faces possible leg amputation
A visibly distressed lady has cried out over a tragic accident involving her younger brother, a student of the University of Abuja.
According to her account, the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when students were struggling to get to school for a test allegedly scheduled around 5 a.m.
She explained that while her brother and a coursemate were trying to cross the road in front of the University of Abuja, a commercial tricycle (keke), reportedly driving against traffic, knocked them down.
As of the time she shared the video, her brother was said to be unconscious and already being prepared for surgery. Doctors, she stated, described his condition as critical, adding that there was a possibility his leg might have to be amputated.
The lady further claimed that although the tricycle rider was arrested, there were moves to release him, and that the school authorities had not reached out or offered any form of support since the incident.
She also revealed that the hospital initially rejected her brother due to the seriousness of his condition before eventually admitting him, while medical bills continued to pile up beyond what she could afford.
