Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, Commandant General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps
The new Commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Anambra State, Edwin Osuala, has charged officers of the command to translate their expertise into reducing crime wave in the state.
Osuala stated this during his maiden meeting with all the deputy commandants and assistant commandants at the State Command Headquarters in Awka, on Thursday.
This is according to a statement on Friday by the state commandant Public Relations Officer, DSC Okadigbo Edwin.
Osuala expressed his readiness to work in accordance with the vision and objectives of the Corps under the leadership of the Commandant-General of NSCDC, Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi, in delivering on the Corps mandate with utmost commitment and dedication.
He reiterated the fact that the command under his watch will work assiduously to deliver on its constitutional mandates, fight crime and make the state uncomfortable for all forms of criminal activities.
“Our job is to keep residents of Anambra State safe and secure. As very senior officers, you should work side by side with me and live above board in providing the needed services to members of the public.
“Educate your subordinates to do what is expected of them, projecting the good image of the Corps is our collective responsibility and that is why I was sent here,” Osuala added.
He warned the senior officers to caution their subordinates against corruption and incivility to members of the public.
He said, “Necessary mercenaries will be put in place to check the activities of men deployed for any assignment, and any erring officer shall be dealt with accordingly.”
The meeting ended with the NSCDC state boss and the senior officers brainstorming on how to evolve and adopt new strategies to further strengthen the operational template to secure the state.
