The command’s Public Relations Officer, CSC Adams Shehu, in a statement issued in Dutse on Thursday, said that Danjuma at a meeting with the management of the command warned against indiscipline, dereliction of duty and unprofessional conduct.
He added that Danjuma promised to operate an open-door policy where positive submissions would be welcomed.
“The Commandant General of the corps, Ahmed Audi, is passionate about our overall welfare and is working assiduously towards its improvement, as such we must reciprocate by working hard and executing the corps mandate”, the spokesperson quoted Danjuma as saying.
The commandant, however, decried the recent kidnappings and other security breaches in the state, and promised to restrategise to reposition the security architecture of the state with a view to finding a lasting solution.
