Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi, NSCDC Commandant General

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps says inter-agency collaboration on election security remains very strong ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The Corps Director of Public Relations, Mr Olusola Odumosu, made this remark while reacting to concerns raised by the Independent National Electoral Commission that insecurity might affect the 2023 elections.

Odumosu said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Abuja that the NSCDC was working with other security agencies to tackle all threats to the elections.Related News

He said the corps, being a member of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Elections Security, would ensure the safety of citizens and that of INEC officials and materials.

“No single agency has the monopoly of strategy to overcome security challenges, synergy and cooperation among security agencies is the only way to achieve national security,” he added.
