The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has reassured of its commitment to ensure the safety of lives and property of Corps Members across the country.
This is according to a statement issued by the Acting Director Information and Public Relations of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Caroline Embu on Wednesday.
Embu disclosed that the Commandant-General of NSCDC, Dr. Abubakar Audi, gave the assurance while playing host to the NYSC Director General Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu in his office.
Dr. Audi stated that the NSCDC was duty bound to provide maximum security for NYSC’s assets nationwide. He acknowledged with approval, the positively impactful role of the youth-centred organisation in uniting the nation, nurturing graduate youths and fostering integrated development of the nation’s economy.
Audi assured his NYSC counterpart that the NSCDC had enough personnel to deploy to all NYSC Orientation Camps, offices and Corps Lodges, adding that his doors would always be “open to accommodate any request from NYSC as it relates to provision of security”.
The NYSC Director General informed his host that the visit was part of his efforts to familiarize himself with the Scheme’s critical stakeholders, as he settles down to duty as the Chief Executive of the NYSC.
Nafiu commended the NSCDC for its support to the Scheme and the seamless operational synergy with other collaborating agencies of the NYSC.
He further appealed for improved synergy with its sister agencies in ensuring the security of NYSC’s assets, especially Corps Members.
The NYSC DG assured his host of reciprocal support when and where applicable.
