The Commandant-General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Abdullahi Gana, has challenged the corps personnel to be extra vigilant in the discharge of their duties.
Gana, who gave the challenge in a statement by the corps’ Public Relations Officer, Mr Emmanuel Okeh, said the call had become imperative in view of the Friday’s bomb attacks in some parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He, particularly, directed them to ensure effective protection of critical infrastructure and national assets.
The commandant, who inspected scenes of the bomb blasts that occurred at Kuje and Nyanya districts of the FCT, urged members of the corps to redouble their efforts in ensuring the safety of lives and properties across the country.
“We must redouble our efforts in the provision of maximum security by becoming extra vigilant to deny undesirable elements from wrecking havoc on innocent citizens,’’ he added.
While commending the timely response of agencies in addressing the plights of the victims of the explosions, the NSCDC boss called for greater synergy, partnership and collaboration among the various security agencies in tackling security challenges in the country.(NAN)
