Dear Good People of Enugu State,
It is with a deep sense of responsibility and commitment that I officially assume duty as the State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Enugu State. My tenure comes with a pledge to uphold zero tolerance for crime and criminality, as we work together to secure our communities, our people, and the critical national assets that sustain our state’s development.
Upon taking up this position, my first priority is to ensure that we adopt a proactive approach to addressing security challenges. This will involve close collaboration with our sister security agencies, recognizing that the fight against crime is one we must tackle together. I will also ensure all-round security patrols throughout the state and will establish a crack squad and rapid response units that will be available to swiftly respond to distress calls and emergencies. These steps are necessary to maintain constant vigilance and an effective deterrence against those who wish to disrupt the peace in Enugu State.
I want to assure the people of this great state that my team and I will build on the strong foundation laid by my predecessors, as we continue to strengthen the Corps’ presence and operations down to the Area Commands and Divisional Commands. We will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that all our men and women are fully equipped and ready to address the needs of every community in Enugu.
One of our key focuses will be the protection of critical national assets within the state. These infrastructures are vital to our state’s economic and social stability, and we will ensure they remain secure at all times.
The Corps foundation leverages on good and actionable intelligence gathering and dissemination and this we will continue to uphold to keep our government and support instruments abreast of developments pertinent to the security of our people.
However, security is not the responsibility of the Corps alone. It requires the active participation of every citizen. I call on all good people of Enugu State to partner with us by providing actionable intelligence that will help us identify and neutralize threats before they escalate.
I am committed to fostering an environment of trust and cooperation between the NSCDC and the public. Together, we can create a safer and more peaceful Enugu State. Your cooperation and vigilance are key to the success of our mission.
I also wish to take this opportunity to recognize and commend the exemplary leadership of Hon. Barr. Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, the Executive Governor of Enugu State, for his steadfast dedication to the security and welfare of the state. In the same vein, I offer my heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, PhD, mni, our indefatigable Commandant General, for his continuous guidance and support as we strive to uphold the highest standards of service in the NSCDC.
As I embark on this journey as your State Commandant, I pledge to lead with integrity, transparency, and dedication. With your support, I am confident that together, we will make Enugu State a beacon of security and peace.
Thank you, and God bless ndi Enugu State.
